I can already hear the screaming.
Great news. Sure throws water on the navy ship story. Trump’s brilliant period.
I wish.
I don’t receive entitlements but I am forced to pay for them for others. I don’t even get to choose to whom I give charity. It is forcibly stolen from me and given to those chosen by government.
I'd suspect that millions of illegals self-deporting will shave a few percentage points out of the budget, too.
Yep. Me too. The liberals will scream that he’s taking food out of the mouths of babies. All the usual stuff will be said. Lack of compassion for the poor and all that. Taking food out of people’s mouths. Evicting people from their comfy Section 8 housing. Women and children and vulnerable minorities hurt hardest. Etc.
That'll make the "never-worker's" heads explode!
I have a problem with describing Social Security & Medicare as entitlements seeing I paid into them for almost 60 years.
Congress will change those cuts to little or nothing is my prediction.
believe it when I see it...Then I’ll really believe it when it’s passed.
Reduce the number of weeks one can receive unemployment money back to the 26 weeks it was for years!
Wailing, gnashing of teeth...
The libs are already inking up the boo-hoo presses. Expect to drown in stories of starving crippled children and whip-wielding overseers flogging a new generation of welfare slaves.
Which is exactly why it will never happen. So...I'm not sure what the excitement is for. The democrats will not go for it...and all they need is 22ish spineless republicans...and this is toast. The swamp is never going to go for it and the GOP is not going to shut the government down to support it.
This is DOA. Not being a debbie-downer...just being a realist. If anyone wants to make a wager...I'm game...have your pay-pal ready.
DOA.. Ryan and The Turtle will see to it.
The swamp needs more draining.
They will change the - to a + You can take that to the bank.
No President’s budget gets enacted.
The $1.7 trillion in costs are over ten years. Are $170 billion per year in cuts enough to offset the planned increases in spending for Defense, Infrastructure, and Child Care and still balance the budget?
That has been changed to 26 weeks years ago....at least in Virginia, so I assume that is true elsewhere.
FTFY
