The #TrumpBudget slashes @EPA funding by more than 30%. Like prior years, it cuts climate research, adaptation, and renewable energy programs. This is not the right response when scientists say we have limited time to #ActOnClimate.

Students and graduates hold $1.56 trillion in student loan debt. The
#TrumpBudget makes our student debt crisis even worse by making it more difficult for new students to attend college and harder for borrowers to repay loans.Show this thread -
One-third of San Diego families rely on CalFresh/SNAP to put food on the table. The
#TrumpBudget cuts SNAP by $17 billion to pay for tax cuts on the backs of families struggling to make ends meet.#HandsOffSNAPShow this thread -
It also makes the GOP tax cuts permanent, which are projected to add another $1 trillion to the deficit over 10 years. (The
#TrumpBudget falsely assumes they will pay for themselves.) It's one thing to wish for economic growth. It's another thing to build your budget around it.Show this thread -

If you had any education, you wouldn't fall for treason. SPEND SPEND SPEND RECKLESSLY & STUPIDLY is your endless pattern, & I've never noticed you to do anything else. Guess what? Your own children will be saddled with the burden you are imposing on this nation & your poor kids.

No, that's exactly wrong. Budgets are meant to control spending. "Deficit budget means expenses will exceed revenues" (Investopedia). I think you'd be more effective in Congress if you studied accounting, stopped fantasizing about spending in a deficit budget & respected POTUS.

Valuing responsible spending is a good thing in a budget. Spending more might make your Union bosses happy but it hasn’t done much for the quality of our educanal system. Hard for a privileged man to understand public education can and should be better. Who wants to pollute?
