I'm considering emmigrating. Fuck this cesspit. It deserves to rot after what people chose.
For those of you who can't move, my sincere condolences. This shit is fucked.

I think Trump (or his team)sees this as a negotiation tactic. He can't get these without Congressional approval, so he asked for something truly outrageous that no one will agree on. Then taking moderate cuts doesn't seem so bad down the line.
What he's forgotten is that this isn't a cold boardroom but a whole country. People are going to see this and say, "Never." He's hurt his position for asking for lesser cuts by asking for something unconscionable.
Hahahaha. You act like this isn't exactly what republicans want. They ain't changing shit.Budget doesn't mean much. It's the skinny budget anyway. Only top lines and such. Won't get the true meat of the budget for a while now. But regardless, congress will take this budget, rip it apart, then rebuild it as a political instrument that clearly defines their own (Congress's) priorities. most anything the president wants will take a back seat to a bi-partisan budget bill passed...and very little of the finished product can be credited to the Presidents Skinny Budget offered up March.
If this passes eff them all
every single department that matter while our defense budget which is twice as big as other countries gets a budget increase?
Amazing how it's never really an investment to better the lives of the American people with infrastructure and social benefits, but all about defense/weapons, pro-corporations, and keeping "others" at bay all to the detriment of the American people, just cut everything else that keeps us in good shape and checked.
NIH losing a fifth of its budget. Jesus.
Hopefully trump voters will wake up after they feel this
Who am I kidding lol
This budget has 0% chance of passing. It is another trump distraction.
Come again? Didn't Trump and each of his brainless cabinet picks make it in?
Why is your faith in America so bold?
Didn't he run on cutting defense spending?
This sucks
As far as Trump and Co are concerned, who has time for the arts and performances when they are at war with muslims who could be living down the street from them. Trump's Schtick is to make everyone feel terrified not inspired.Man, 100% budget cut for Arts and Performances is just outright crazy.
I assume it won't affect Hollywood and Broadway as they are privately funded, but I have feeling a lot of artists will emigrate from US to UK and Canada.
I still can't believe that figure.

You'd think the US was at war with that sort of budget.....

Fuck the people that voted for him. I hope they suffer from their choices.
An uneducated, unhealthy and starving population with a huge military? Nothing can go wrong there.
Prepare for the war. The drums be banging.
This is somehow both exactly what I expected and much worse at the same time.
