    Cutting the NEA & NEH to save money on a $3-trillion budget is like thinking 1/3-inch is long relative to a football field.

        how about a few less destroyers, SAMs or bombers, or how about invest in US infrastructure saving money in long run

        True. If all of our military equip is "worn out 1970's" stuff, then what has our $500B/yr been buying?

        @LonnyRaye5440 Trump has cost the taxpayers 15 million dollars going to his private residence. Good place to start cutting waste.

        Going to Mara Lago, or however you spell it. You get the idea I'm sure. Cost additional $ going to Trump Tower

        Cutting government spending is consistent with conservative principles, but Trump's budget ADDS to the debt. More bombs, less art

        how about because significant cuts to science funding are being made that make little difference to the deficit?
