Trump budget would cut $4.4T in spending, boosting defense while slashing safety nets, foreign aid

Yes yes, bc everyone knows once we deal w this current crop of poor people there will be no more poor people produced. Poverty solved!

 

You understand that new people fall into poverty every day, right?

 

This is the second year in a row Trump has let Moron Mick Mulvaney (last seen blowing up the "No Quid Pro Quo" defense on TV then being stashed in the broom closet till the new year) unleash his wet dream Atlas shrugged budget without bothering to figure out that the red-hat wearing MAGA faithful, who depend heavily on Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, are in the cross hairs.

I guess he just thinks Trump is stupid, which he is.

 

This is all terrible in it's own right, but even worse is that some "moderate Democrats" are concerned with Illinois not letting people pump their own gas!!!

 

Seems like to MAGA, starting with improvements to the education sector is a no-brainer. But hey, MAGA really only applies to the wealthy.

 

Betsy's on it...

 

Conservative logic....

Austerity when the Dems are in charge

Drunken pirate spending when they are in charge.

From my economics 101 class.... spend more during poor economies and spend less during strong economies. Bush Jr 2.0.
