OnPolitics: What if New Hampshire beats Iowa to the punch?

The time has come for President Trump and Congress to being their dance of the budget and a new state is on the clock.

Now, brave newsletter readers, we turn to New Hampshire

We realize that Iowa is still counting, or whatever, but it's time to move on to New Hampshire, where hopefully things are a bit more squared away.

Think about it this way, if New Hampshire is able to sort out full-on official results in a timely manner before Iowa, they will be the first-in-the-nation to release complete primary results. That's bound to be on a trivia question.

The news from New Hampshire:

•	Bernie Sanders takes lead for the first time ahead of New Hampshire primary
•	Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg both request Iowa caucus results recanvass
•	New Hampshire Democrats are still candidate shopping

Whelp, we literally owe trillions

Seems like we've all been there. The debt is piling up and we make a pinky promise to get out of it with some power couponing and lifestyle cuts. Maybe spend less on UberEats.

For the government, it means having to sort out ways to fund prioritized programs and cut back other items. President Donald Trump revealed his suggested budget on Monday and the proposed changes are sweeping.

•	Trump budget proposal pitches billions for rural America
•	How the federal government's budget is different than yours
•	Trump's budget to call for increases in military spending, cuts in domestic programs
