I don't know but Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Science FY 2000 request was $2,844 billion. Which is the about $4B in todays dollars and I suspect it was bloated back then.
Or
President Clinton's FY 2000 budget provides $15.9 billion for NIH, a $320 million increase — or 2.1 percent — over the 1999 level. 15.9 billion is a little over 22 Billion in todays dollars.

In plain English I am saying these cuts put the budgets for these organizations at the same level as in 2000. I suspect the budget for them was more than enough back then and will be more than enough now.
Right, only a handful of career govt employees in DC have those smarts

His budget is set to increase the debt. This is well known. You didn't answer the question because you cannot.

When people live in an alternate world of La-La Land, you cannot talk much sense to them. Especially if they are a Democrat partisan, because then any cut to any program is an opportunity to demonize people.

Given that you don't know what it's enough for I have no idea what you're talking about.
The taxpayers win and win big and its about time. This is why we voted him in. Thank goodness.
I thought people voted him in to have a voice for the little guy. For the working-class American, and especially for the many people who were left behind by the changing economy.
This budget takes a giant crap all over these people. "Sorry you lost your coal job, no matter what we do, it isn't coming back, because coal is dead. But congrats, now we'll cut all the programs that might retrain you to be a part of the 2017+ workforce, we'll deprive modern industry of you, and other trained workers they so desparately need, and by the way, sorry we won't help give you the skills you need to be employed, but we are also cutting any aid you might have while you are unemployed. Now, go figure out how to buy your own education, quit whining, and get your arse to work. We are a Trump nation, and we don't care about you anymore."
"...oh, and those Veterans we campaigned about taking care of, in between insulting them and their families, well their benefits and support is cut too. But that's OK, because they put their life on the line for our country in the past. What have they done for us lately. Can't afford care for the injuries you sustained defending our country? Get a job, you lazy arse..."
Let's cut funding to NIH, DOE, and the EPA so we can build a $20+ billion dollar wall along our southern border. That wall will DEFINITELY make our country a better place.
The San Diego sector of the wall has already proven it works.
We spend 15 billion watching the super bowl and 6 billion will be spent today on a drinking holiday. priorities.
