BREAKING : President Trump’s DEEP Budget CUTS Will Rival those from World War II
Drain the swamp is the credo President Trump must have been repeating when he put together his new budget.
It certainly has liberals sweating bullets, as President Trump plans to make massive federal budget cuts, so big as a matter of fact, they’ll rival the cuts during World War II.
Our fake news friends at Washington Post are coming unhinged at the thought of NPR and environmental programs being defunded.
However, the rest of us are cheering, because this is exactly why Americans elected President Trump.
From Washington Post
President Trump’s budget proposal this week would shake the federal government to its core if enacted, culling back numerous programs and expediting a historic contraction of the federal workforce.
This would be the first time the government has executed cuts of this magnitude — and all at once — since the drawdown following World War II, economists and budget analysts said.
The spending budget Trump is set to release Thursday will offer the clearest snapshot of his vision for the size and role of government. Aides say that the president sees a new Washington emerging from the budget process, one that prioritizes the military and homeland security while slashing many other areas, including housing, foreign assistance, environmental programs, public broadcasting and research. Simply put, government would be smaller and less involved in regulating life in America, with private companies and states playing a much bigger role.
The cuts Trump plans to propose this week are also expected to lead to layoffs among federal workers, changes that would be felt sharply in the Washington area. According to an economic analysis by Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody’s Analytics, the reductions outlined so far by Trump’s advisers would reduce employment in the region by 1.8 percent and personal income by 3.5 percent, and lower home prices by 1.9 percent.
“These are not the kind of cuts that you can accommodate by tightening the belt one notch, by shaving a little bit off of a program, or by downsizing a few staff here or there,” said Robert Reischauer, a former director of the Congressional Budget Office. “These are cuts that would require a wholesale triage of a vast array of federal activities.”

The Federal Government has been overreaching for decades in areas should be addressed by the States themselves. The Federal Government was never meant to be so large and has usurped powers the constitution never allocated. The primary duty of the Federal Government is to Protect and Defend the United States of America and provide support / General Welfare for areas that are common and shared by all of the States ie:
Military , Federal Highways & Bridges, CDC, Monetary Policy ie: Coining of Money. I have no doubt the Current Federal System is Bloated with needless Departments and Staff that are either not required or can be merged into other existing departments and streamlined or eliminated.
Good Luck.. These cronies in Washington will fight this tooth and nail. Great idea, but here’s hoping he can do it. Way, way too much fat. Useless leeches and agencies doing nothing but providing jobs to people that accomplish nothing.
