Uncommon Knowledge: OMB Director Mick Mulvaney

Sowing the Seeds of Growth

This week on Uncommon Knowledge, John Michael “Mick” Mulvaney, director of the Office of Budget and Management, sits down with Peter Robinson to discuss the complex process of budget reform by having to blend President Trump’s budget proposal with the realities of dealing with Congress. Mulvaney explains the need for bipartisanship in budget negotiations within the Senate to get the budget passed, which means getting at least eight Democrats to vote for the proposed budget (to get to the magic number of 60 votes) and keeping Trump’s promises to his base.
