Gabriella DemczukTo say that the Republican primary fight overshadowed the stunning news of America’s first four-trillion-dollar budget almost trips over the point. The rhetoric leading up to the New Hampshire primary offered plenty of debate over repetition in political messaging, the relative merits of executive experience versus transformational activism, and the authenticity of various Republicans in the field. Most of those themes continued to play out Tuesday, while almost no one noticed that President Barack Obama used the foofaraw of primary day coverage to release his proposed FY2017 budget, with $4.1 trillion in spending and more ballooning of the deficit and national debt. About the only mention of the federal budget came in the post-primary speech from Donald Trump, who crushed his competition in the Granite State – and even that was in reference to the previous year’s budget.
