To give more tax cuts to the rich...
Quote:
In real-world terms, the president’s budget doesn’t matter. It will be completely ignored by Congress and won’t even provide a baseline for discussions. Still, it does provide a look the president’s priorities:

The budget also calls on increased military spending [and] for the first time calls for cutting $845 billion from Medicare, the popular health care program for the elderly that in the past he had largely said he would protect.

Americans who support this douche need their heads examined so they should care about healthcare.

Where in the US Constitution, is the US Government authorized to be involved in Medicare to begin with? The 10th amendment is clear on that!

It's a Presidential budget and going nowhere, but still.

If it wasn't for the fact that it would cause so much suffering among those who didn't vote Trump, I could almost hope the old farts with MAGA hats would get to enjoy their object lesson. Almost.

And even after this, you're still going to have some lying GOP trolls trying to gaslight things and claim that a. the GOP doesn't support it, and b. that it's Democrats who want to kill Medicare.

The entire Fed Gov should be cut by at least 10%, which includes all entitlements.

While raising the military budget we currently Medicare I just don't see the logic not to mention tax cuts.

Good. Have the courage of your convictions the next time one of your ilk tries to claim Democrats are trying to get rid of Medicare. Own your positions and tell your ilk that it's you who's trying to do that. Instead, we have a bunch of cowardly snakes, hiding their positions by lying about which side is backing which agenda.
