Breitbart: The White House will release its “taxpayer-first budget” on Tuesday, which includes $1.7 trillion in cuts for entitlement spending and a 30 percent reduction in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) budget.
The Trump budget proposal will balance over the next ten years by cutting both mandatory and discretionary funding for agencies such as the EPA and State Department. The budget proposal assumes that the economy will grow at three percent compared to the 1.6 percent growth that America experienced in 2016. White House staffers explained that the proposal is a “post-policy” budget, meaning that the budget assumes that Trump signed the health care overhaul known as the American Health Care Act (AHCA) and tax reform into law.
The budget proposal will make substantial cuts into four entitlement programs, SNAP (food stamps), CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program), and SSDI (Disability Insurance). The Trump budget assumes that the AHCA becomes law, which would roll back Medicaid expansion. White House staffers told Axios that the budget would cut entitlement costs through an “emphasis on work requirements for able-bodied people.” read more here
I don’t see how that could be. Trumps not a real conservative.
Great! Imagine that with that amount of cutting it still takes so long to balance. Countdown to democrats pronouncing it dead on arrival—3,2,1.
The Rinos will never pass it
Death to Bureaucracy!
Death to Big Brother!
(as a gin-scented tear rolls down my cheek)
Not if, but when the entrenched parasites of both Parties start objecting and destroying the President’s Budget, it’s time to vehemently, perhaps forcefully remind them that they have failed to pass, even to propose a Budget, in years.
Not pies, they need to feel punches in the face, if they don’t get serious real soon.
We need a HUGE phone and e mail campaign to our representatives. We need to back Trump anyway we can.
30% is not good enough. Should be shut down completely. Ditto for DofEd. 80% for D of Energy. Every other dep’t. should expect a 30% cut.
good start but Paul Ryan will never let it happen. Mitch the Turtle will kill it as well. These folks live off the pork and will never balance a budget. EVER!
We’ve spent more than $17 TRILLION to eliminate poverty since LBJ declared war on it and have done nothing but create more poor people. Time to try a different approach.
Enslaving the middle class by confiscating their labor to make life comfortable for the poor has been a losing strategy that pisses everybody off, including the poor who enjoy granite countertops, air conditioning, Air Jordans and shiny gold teeth grills.
Can you blame me?
Going to the range today
Print some of these. You’ll need them.

As usual, these are not cuts. They are reductions in the rate of growth of the programs. The budget is still over four trillion dollars.
BB — Yes, we absolutely need to call ALL of our reps. It is the one way we have of letting them know we are watching them and that we back Trump. It only takes a few minutes, so please, everyone, do it.
It’s too easy to think that his budget proposal is all for naught and then do nothing because that thinking. Dare I say, it’s lazy.

I think we need to make it perfectly clear to them. Either support this budget or we won’t support you in the next election cycle
Jurnolists and MSM calling this ‘slashing’ of the programs. I’ll bet it’s just a reduction of the anticipated increases.
Won’t be happy until when someOne from the EPA shows up and people don’t remember what EPA stands for.
Hey Brad, wasn’t that copied from a tattoo on Obamas ass?
The EPA Needs a 95% Cut. IF they can find even 5% of sane individuals in the Bureau.
Trump is not a “real conservative” but the “real conservatives” in congress will make sure it never passes.
It’s gonna get Rino’d out. Watch.
