New administration’s budget proposal to …

Description

New administration’s budget proposal to Congress includes $1.7 trillion in
mandatory spending cuts over 10 years, including $800 billion from Medicaid
and $193 billion from food stamps. At the same time, this proposal, called "A
New Foundation for American Greatness", includes a boost in military
spending and $1.6 billion for the construction of the border wall with Mexico.
To be honest, I’m not sure, that the wall and another pointless war, instead of
affordable health care and help for those in need, is what we have to keep our
focus on. It seems like republicans are using every single possibility to get
more money for their wars, and they don’t mind it if average Americans live in
poverty or without affordable medicine. Why additional billions to Military? Our
Department of Defense budget is already bigger than military budgets of the
next eight countries combined, isn’t it enough? Here is what Senate Minority
Leader Chuck Schumer said: "Based on what we know about this budget, the
good news -- the only good news -- is that it’s likely to be roundly rejected by
members of both parties here in the Senate -- just as the last budget was"
