Help me and others here "GROK" the pending FEDERAL budget and investment sectors impact

TO GROK:

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/grokking

I suppose one could sub-title the word into a book title, "The Art of the Grok". Many levels of GROK(king) exist dependent upon one's age, cranial wiring and life experiences. I lean towards this partial definition: to understand thoroughly and intuitively. 'Course, relative to pending Federal budget submissions; to understand thoroughly and intuitively may travel along the edge of "The Twilight Zone", eh? Indeed, way past my pay grade. I've been a lifelong student/believer in grokking. I just didn't know the word or implied meaning until the early 70's.

To the investment side of this however, I/we will appreciate inputs here from whatever sources as to the views of those who will be studying federal budget areas going forward; with the assumption that some budget proposals will go into the paper shredder and/or become perverted into legislation that may or may not resemble its original form and intent.

A small trinket of info here (charts are clickable for large format):

    I bet you know this, Catch, but the burp of info from the administration is not a proposed budget, much less a pending budget. It covered something like a third of spending and said nada about revenues. Imho, it's best thought of at this point as a Breitbart wish list, and as such, it would be a waste of time to start doing investment planning based on it.
