Under Trump's budget, the $200 billion in federal funding will be taken from other programs that are cut or eliminated,

I fail to see the problem here.

Let's do the math - Trump gave Chucky 50B (100 Billion) for two years to get the defense hike.

Now he wants 200 Billion in cuts !!!!

I love it !!!

We ALL would love to see spending cut. The problem is in the details.

If we cut spending 5% across the board we would save billions. But 5% of what? Medicare? Social Security? And no, you cannot point to a trust fund or social contract as we are discussing the real world.

You see, if we don’t cut everything the next few rate increases will cut them for us.

We are boxed into a corner. And even the most clever planners are going to get us out of it. We need to make drastic changes. And soon. And a lot of people will die.
