Hillary Clinton bashed President Trump’s newly-unveiled federal budget plan on Tuesday, saying the plan reached “an unimaginable level of cruelty.”
Clinton gave the keynote address at the Children’s Health Fund Annual Benefit on Tuesday night just hours after the Trump administration revealed the details of its first major budget proposal. The former Democratic presidential nominee sharply criticized the plan.
"This administration is mounting an onslaught against the needs of children, people with disabilities, women and seniors,” Clinton said.
"Poverty is neither a crime, nor a character flaw. Stigmatize those who let people die, not those who struggle to live," Clinton continued, quoting from an essay in author Sarah Kendzior's book "The View From Flyover Country."
Trump’s budget proposal seeks $1.4 trillion in cuts to Medicaid over the course of a decade and $1.5 trillion in non defense discretionary cuts. It also seeks to cut $274 billion from anti-poverty programs, including $193 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the modern version of food stamps. It also slashes the budget for Disability Insurance offered through Social Security. Trump pledged throughout the 2016 campaign to not cut Social Security programs.
Clinton has emerged as a fierce critic of Trump after keeping a relatively-low profile following her election loss. In late March, the former Secretary of State blasted Trump’s initial budget proposal, specifically for its cuts to the State Department.
“This administration’s proposed cuts to international health, development, and diplomacy would be a blow to women and children and a grave mistake to our country,” Clinton said at the time.
In April, she took a swipe at the administration saying she was “pretty worried” as an American. And earlier this month, Clinton announced the formation of a new political action organization, Onward Together, which will fundraise for five prominent progressive groups.
You’ve got to be cruel to be kind.
:)
And Ambassador Chris Stevens.
Blaming his death on a video was an ‘unimaginable level of cruelty’.
The Democrat/Liberal hyperbole has, ‘An unimaginable level of cruelty’
Two things: I can pretty much guarantee you that President Trump’s budget will be larger than any of President Clintons budgets were. So does that make him even more unimaginably cruel?
Second, what was that line that was attributed to Franklin or Jefferson about “the way to lift people out of poverty is to make them uncomfortable in it”?
oh we could go on and on with the list.
Folks on Twitter should start ‘unimaginable levels of cruelty by Hillary/Clintons’ trending....
Well past time for this administration to indict her sorry ass. Enough is enough.
since she’s fundraising, she should give the money to the poor instead of political hacks and media outlets
Rather than running a multimillion dollar slush fund, maybe she should give her money away to ‘the poor’...
How about Bill and Juanita Broaddrick? Where does that rank with unimaginable cruelty?
However, such was not the case.
What was up for grabs was the power the entire left wielded, and wanted to cement, with her as the grifter figure head, allowed to do a little skimming, no big deal in the general scheme of things.
This war will never be over, as long as the left is allowed to suck valuable oxygen, and continue to spout their ideology.
2020 may see Clinton, but I doubt it, they will find another more charming (easy to do) figurehead, similar to the twit they had for the last eight years.
Regardless, they will not relent in their endeavors, ever.
How many NeverTrumpers wanted her as President over Trump?
Her money? Oh, you mean the money the Clinton Foundation screwed donors out of in order to rescue poor children in earthquake ravaged Haiti? Hundreds of millions of dollars raised for the children, to build hospitals and other projects, that were never built, and the Clintons absconded with the money. Yeah, she should give "her" money to the poor... like she promised.
“Regardless, they will not relent in their endeavors, ever.”
Evil never relents.
She says the exact opposite when it comes to abortion.
“Clinton slams Trump’s budget: ‘An unimaginable level of cruelty”
So I wonder what she thinks of ISIS blowing up little girls and poking them all full of nails.
Damn, this psycho bitch is f***in’ stupid.
