    Trump budget: No cuts to entitlements

    "We are not touching those now. So don't expect to see that as part of this budget, OK?" - Mnuchin

    http://www.reuters.com/article/us-us...-idUSKBN1650LL
    Partisan politics, misleading or emotional bill titles, and 4D chess theories are manifestations of the same lie—that the text of the Constitution, the text of legislation, and plain facts do not matter; what matters is what you want to believe. From this comes hypocrisy. And where hypocrisy thrives, virtue recedes. Without virtue, liberty dies. - Justin Amash, March 2018

    Ok I get it. The deportation plan is another stimulus package for friends. Don't eliminate abused benefits that attract illegals, just spend more money. Kinda like Trumps approach to the drug war, the war around the Middle East and no doubt soon, Obamacare now more huge.

    This is nothing like Bernie Sanders, this is what real conservatives do. This is RPOS.
    “I don’t think that there will be any curtailing of Donald Trump as president,” he said. "He controls the media, he controls the sentiment [and] he controls everybody. He’s the one who will resort to executive orders more so than [President] Obama ever used them." - Ron Paul

    $54B more for military. Reciprocal cuts... oh, somewhere. He says foreign aid. If he cuts all foreign aid, that would get him most of the way there. I'm sure Israel's $3.8B a year will be first on the chopping block.

    I love that word entitlements and how it's so freely used.

    We have no choice. We can't have people dying in the streets.

    So no cuts to entitlements, and a boost in military spending? Something has to give, and I think it's the Trump Cucksuckers credibility, the fight for Liberty continues without them.

    Exclamation No cuts to entitlements, boost in military spending, where's the conservative?

    Anyone?

    They should increase defense spending, but they should take it from offense spending.

    They are, they are cutting spending throughout the government agencies, like EPA.

    “The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found. The most dangerous thing you can do in the immediate future will be to give yourself up unconsciously to the influences which are definitely present.” ~ Rudolf Steiner

    We have no choice. We can't let people die in the streets and there are some really bad dudes out there. Therefore, conservative.

    The amounts that Trump is proposing to add to the Pentagon budget and trim elsewhere are not yet publicly known.
    I doubt he will come up with 54 billion but I suppose we shall see.

    Right, let's ignore all the planned cuts he is going to make and complain that he isn't throwing people on welfare out into the streets.

    I guess we can also ignore that Military spending may actually go down, while defense spending may increase.

    There are a lot of things you have to ignore when you complain about Trump all the time.

    No, no, I mean it. Go to eastern Kentucky and knock on their doors and tell them about how Trump is such an authoritarian for allowing them to produce energy.

    In the mean time you can complain about a bunch of stupid bull$#@! that never would have changed under Hillary anyway.

    Don't worry, surely the trumpettes will be along soon enough, to do one or more of the following:
    A) Argue about the meaning of words like "cut", "spending", "military", "entitlement", "increase", and "budget"
    B) Tell us that their authoritarian idol really didn't mean what he said
    C) Tell us that this is a brilliant move in a game of 3-D chess that only trumpettes are capable of understanding
    D) Tell us that it's ok because obomba did it first
    E) Tell us that it's ok because it would have been horrible if clinton had done the very same thing
    F) Tell us that this is what Liberty and Freedom really mean
    G) Call CPUd names

    Seriously, I think it would be a great experience for you to go to eastern Kentucky and explain to everybody there how much of an authoritarian Trump is.

    I'm as skeptical as anybody that he will turn the tide and actually reduce total spending, or even baseline spending, but you won't catch me posting a bunch of establishment propaganda yellow journalism or rooting on those who do.
