Cuttin the federal budget. Good up to ........until it hurts me or you

Pig squealing will begin soon.  Hog trough drying up.  Gravy train is being derailed.  Sounds good until you realize you are one of the hogs or riding the train.  I worry what such draconian actions will have on the economy, local government, and the vulnerable.

I for one do not give a crap if d.c. sees a ~2% decline in employment, or a ~2% decline in home prices. Nobody makes more money per capita and has seen more artificial wealth increase through skyrocketing home prices than the disgusting humans who inhabit that place.

Trump wants to end.meals om wheels.  Grndma going to strave.

The Libs are of course up to their usual tricks of telling everyone they're going to die if a budget is cut (as in a decrease to the requested increase). 

Welcome back to caring about a budget Dems, a well rested 8 year vacation.

I live there and I wouldn't say 90% of the people who live in that area are disgusting humans. I do however agree that I do not care if d.c. sees a ~2% decline in employment, or a ~2% decline in home prices.

Military spending increase aside, this budget is surprisingly good? GOP Congress will eff it up, just like their Obamacare "replacement." Sad.

The increases pretty much cancel out the cuts don't they? Very silly budget

I don't understand why we need to increase military spending.  We are running out of places to invade.

it's probably a safe assumption that we'll be opening up a new war fairly soon.

Dems still in shock over an actual budget proposal still forgetting that Congress controls the purse strings.
