First, it's a direct attack on the most vulnerable. As @HCheadle reminds us: "But as president, he is devoting a large amount of energy to making it harder to be poor in America. That may sound harsh, but it's all right there on the page." https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/qvev4b/trumps-budget-proposal-is-a-manifesto-against-the-poor …

It isn't enough to be poor in this budget, you have to be made to feel worthless.
@hbottemiller takes us through#SNAP changes: "The proposal was so out of left field that some anti-hunger advocates initially thought it was a joke." https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/12/food-stamps-trump-administration-343245 …Show this thread -
Trump claims he wants a bipartisan infrastructure deal but when you look at the fine print, it's clearly another attack on blue states. As
@GovMurphy points out: "This is probably a fraction of what our state needs or, frankly, the country needs."https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/12/trump-infrastructure-blue-states-transit-405993 …Show this thread -
This budget makes it harder to get a college education.
@AnnieReporter: "The budget would eliminate subsidized loans. Some 5.7 million students had subsidized loans in the 2016-2017 academic year, according to Mark Kantrowitz, a student loan expert."https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/12/trumps-budget-would-end-student-loan-forgiveness-program.html?__source=sharebar%7Ctwitter&par=sharebar …Show this thread -
Unsurprisingly, healthcare is STILL under assault. "The net result is a $675 billion federal spending cut by 2028. That includes a $1.4 trillion cut to Medicaid [..] after Trump promised during his presidential campaign not to cut the program."

This budget is a peak into the same shortsighted, misguided, and reckless strategies that have run Trump’s businesses into the ground. I refuse to stand by idly while Trump and House Republicans roll back progress

Actually Bonnie, clueless people like you exemplify the Democrat party lack of understanding the needs of the American people. You leftists are so out of touch with reality which is exactly why we elected Trump.
