Trump’s Budget

[Anonymous]

Trump’s budget fund the military and homeland security. All other spending is slashed. Federal government is further slashed. Entitlements funded but we will see if it gets delivered to citizens. Trump’s gotta prep for the next election, I guess. Fund the policing forces that will put down dissent after deporting most the liberals.

Is Congress going to get a backbone?

[Anonymous]

I think that’s a totally reasonable budget proposal. And I think it will carry more weight with Congress than typical presidential budget proposals tend to.

Just look at the budget before covid and how it has ballooned. Time for some reality in .gov spending.

Don't like it? Too bad.

Does the slashing include cuts to subsidies?

The ballooned spending meant avoiding a recessions while also growing the GDP and actually investing in US infrastructure. There is a way to deal with the debt and deficit spending without completely crating the small percentage of money that actually goes to out clean air and water, clean food and milk, cancer research and the arts.

So why not just reduce it to pre-COVID levels? Why the cuts to the Veterans Administration and their hospitals as well as rural hospitals?

This. The problem is real, but the 'solutions' are BS. The problem is being exploited as a justification for cuts sought out of ideology, grievance, or retribution.

People who are getting funds cut will say anything. I didn't hear anyone complaining about Biden's cuts, oh wait he didn't make any.

Spending is still going up under Trump. Why? It’s about the entitlements stupid. Cutting taxes further is only going to make our deficit worse.

Right, because economists and history show us that you spend your way out of economic catastrophe, which is why the US economy was the envy of the world when Biden left office. So what is happening now? Elon gets more money from NASA and USDOT while poor kids in the midwest, south and Appalachia go without doctors or medicine.

One of the best things that happened on Biden’s watch was the ability to negotiate Medicare drug prices. Only 10 to start but it was a lot of savings. This is how you start to bend the spending in Medicare without cutting benefits.

+1 the Republican budget will make the deficit much much worse while these ideological cuts will mainly leave Americans less safe.

It is just a show of cost cutting while actually ballooning the deficit. But the american people are too stupid to realize this and so we'll get what we deserve. a dog and pony show while we are robbed blind.

I agree.

Cutting state makes so much sense.

Trump's budget: We're cutting your health care and cancer cures to pay to deport your nurse assistant and cancer researcher.
