Exactly what are your specific qualifications and expertise toward judging what is "reasonable" in the areas being cut?

Don't like it? Too bad.

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.

And the infrastructure spending actually has significant ROI.

Typical of conservatives, they focus on the price of everything, but understand the value of nothing.

DP. TBH, I'd like to have both. And pragmatically, both are investments in the future that will also have the effect of increasing growth which is the real solution to the national debt. Austerity has never been the answer, growth is.

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.

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.

And everyone, including the rich GOP, no longer has cancer research and will be drinking toxic water.

Don't need to treat or cure cancer if you send everyone with cancer to Latin America.

It’s DOA. Cuts of this size for next year would tank the already faltering economy.

What cost cutting? There are tens of thousands of federal employees that are receiving paychecks but not working because of the DRP. We still have the cost of government without the service.

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?

They have cut the VA! My friend just spent a week in the ICU at the VA. Family had to bring toilet paper to use. No one was there to restock and clean. It was a mess. Most doctors were RIF’ed. After a week in ICU, the hospital administrator overseeing care couldn’t diagnose the problem. Too bad to the vets! If they want decent care, go see a private doctor.

Congress is ignoring it. Sorry Charlie.

+1 87% cut to state
33% cut to small business
18% cut to agriculture

Most of this is dead on arrival

As long as the farmers don’t get a payout from Trump’s tariffs, I can live with this. It’s terrible, of course, but I want those Maga farmers to feel the consequences of their votes.
