What sweethearts Trump and the Republicans are

The Trump proposed Budget is dead on arrival in Congress, of course, thank goodness. But his Budget reveals a lot about him and his Republican Party.  He breaks a number of promises that he made to his gullible Trump voters in 2016 - he said he wouldn't cut Social Security or Medicare.  Of course that was a lie.  Sorry his voters didn't see who he was when they voted to help the Russians install him in the White House.


Here are some of the cuts.  Over ten years:


  • Medicare - cut $845 billion - aren't most Trumpsters old white folk?
  • Social Security - cut $25 billion - again, old folks being hurt?
  • Medicaid - cut $1.5 trillion - these people really hate poor folks!
  • Food stamps - $220 billion - punish the poor for being poor?
  • Student loans  - $207 billion - we have a generation in debt, serves them right for not being rich!
  • Education - $8.5 billion - let them all go to private schools like good Republicans should!
Plus shots at Public Broadcasting (they say bad things about el Duce you know), and stop heating subsidies for low income people - just cruelty for the sake of cruelty, I guess.

Of course, these are the same folks who pull brown children from the arms of their parents - and then lose track of them.
What sweethearts these people are.....
