Trump’s $1.1 Trillion Budget Makes Dramatic Cuts to Federal Government

[Melkandor]

Well, people that lose their federal job can alway work in wall construction

Hey now, that's not fair to lump construction workers with federal drones.

Screw the lower and middle classes, pander to the rich is Trump's objective.

It's so obvious, yet Trumpets just buy into it over and over again.

We've had the largest job growth since 1984, the market is booming too.

Guess how poor and middle class advance?? OH yeah jobs and small business job creation. now Zero's "service jobs" and " H1B1 & welfare."

Guess where our real retirement is? IN the market via 401Ks and our homes that we buy by working.
Yeah, to a socialist/commie who wants welfare and a 400sq foot apt that looks bad... sorry get a job. Start a business, send your kid's to college.

[Puremallace]

Seriously misleading title of this thread. It does not cut shit but just moves money from Domestic to Military. There is literally zero chance this makes it through the senate and I would be shocked if it makes it through the house.

Are you trying to praise Trump for the job growth over the past few years?

[Eviscero]

Giving someone a job isnt a justification for keeping unnecessary government positions. This looks like a great budget to me. All these agencies have needed slashed for decades, especially when they all blow a unch of leftover money at the end of the year just so they get the same amount the next year.

Ive seen it personally many times. Agencies buy all kinds of unnecessary crap and overspend on necessary things (like $6000 cherry desks instead of a $300 desk from Staples in the last fiscal month just so they dont get a reduced budget the next year

Yeah, he's doing great things cutting those massive entitlements like the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and Meals on Wheels....

Don't you remember? The jobs numbers were all lies, until Trump took office.

[Yvaelle]

He was also in favor of Clippy. So... yeah.

Without Clippy we would have never had Tay - it was ahead of its time.

Don't gloss over the fact that he also said anyone who likes welfare is a Communist.

Martin Shkreli would love to have a chat with you!

Is this before or after said free market entrepreneurs jack up the price of water and medicine to levels that only the rich can afford?

You do understand if this passes, we aren't going back to the "dark ages" with any of the above mentioned items right? Right??

[PosPosPos]

You do understand if this passes, we aren't going back to the "dark ages" with any of the above mentioned items right? Right??

You do understand if you actually read what was being cut, while "going back to the dark ages" might be mild hyperbole, it isn't that far off right? Right??

with the epa hobbled by these budget cuts you don't think that industries will be a lot more willing to cut corners and damage the environment to make an extra buck?

[PosPosPos]

But but but...living in perpetual toxic smog like Beijing does isn't the dark ages. Stop exaggerating man.

i mean with all the glowing pools of toxic waste it wont be "dark" at all! <-------hyperbolic joke

[Zabatakis]

Obviously not. I mean the environment was well treated before the EPA, not like rivers were on fire in Cleveland from toxic dumping or cancer causing toxic waste being buried in NJ or anything like that so why would they now?

[Krigaren]

I have already seen how this story ends. We build the wall then a few years after, something happens that causes the vast majority of Americans to want to flee the country. Can't now motherfuckers, you're trapped.

Well, the plus side is that estimates show it's going to take around 10 years to build the wall that Trump wants, so the project will be cancelled the moment he's out of office. That'll leave nice, big gaps to run through.

Our military under Obama deteroriated tremendously and is in bad shape. That's not up for discussion. It's a well recorded fact.

I love how you put "not up for discussion"

The military under OBAMA was too big for its intended purpose. He just told them to cool their jets. They still have and have always had the most advanced tech in the world, and the best training in the world.
