Here are some of the cuts:<br /><br /><i>Trump’s budget eliminates the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which helps a limited number of poor people pay their heating and cooling bills.<br />“Compared to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower-impact program and is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes,” the Trump budget says. </i><br /><br />I guess being warm in winter is low impact. Idiots. <br /><br /><i>Trump’s budget saves $35 million by closing the Section 4 Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing program. This is money that goes to Habitat for Humanity and other charities that build and refurbish houses for poor people.</i><br /><br />Housing for poor people? Better spent on his "big, beautiful (useless)" wall. Heartless idiot.<br /><br /><i> It would also slash funds for the National Institutes of Health by $6 billion. That would put the NIH funding level at a 15-year low. </i>.<br /><br />I remember when the right was in hysterics over the presence of Ebola. In fairly short order it was under control, a vaccine was being tested and the NIH was critical to both that effort and reassuring a jittery public. I figure even the right would consider it money well spent. Idiots.<br /><br />So far no indication of how he's going to skim from food stamps to pay the defense contractors but with the department of agriculture being cut 20% you know its coming.<br />I'll bet a hunk of the 15% cut to Education comes out of school meals.<br />Preznit Bimbo really gets upset if people have any reasonable nutrition. I don't know what the cuts at state will mean to famine relief for places like Yemen. They'll have to be content with increased funding of Saudi bombing runs.<br /><br />So if you're a defense contractor or hedge fund manager be happy. Otherwise, screw you.<br /><br />MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.Ducky's herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608115001116619877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-37592677089362772942017-03-16T18:59:02.473-04:002017-03-16T18:59:02.473-04:00Anon @1:46 Trump's losing any political capita...<b>Anon @1:46</b> Trump's losing any political capital he thought he had.
