Magnifying Ants

Trump’s budget seems to have been created by a malicious sentient money counting machine that was left out in the elements for a decade and now is taking it out on everyone. It lacks the slightest shred of empathy for people that are desperately in need of the social safety net. What is the purpose of cutting Meals on Wheels, or after school programs that provide meals for kids? Like, why the fuck is that a targeted cut, besides that fact that the people getting left in the ditch are people that Trump and his nest of squawking spite-filled shitbirds don’t consider to be equals that deserve any help. What’s wildly unfunny about this whole situation is TRUMP AND RICH MOTHERFUCKERS LIKE HIM GET THE MOST HELP FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND THEY DON’T RECOGNIZE IT. Or if they do recognize it and can do the mental gymnastics to think everything is on the up and up well then I think they are a deserving candidate to have a sinkhole swallow them.

I guess I see what they’re trying to do, which is make a big show about getting rid of the waste in federal spending, but all of these cuts are nothing in the grand scheme. They just make for a good talking point, where they can say "we slashed", well you really didn’t considering the defense budget is like the whole pie chart and you expanded it.

Let’s see, among other cuts is funding for the NYPD, which kind of was Trump’s base. At least police officers in general were big supporters of Trump before he decided he didn’t need them anymore. That one makes no sense to me. Every decision these man babies have made goes counter to logic. But then again, logic is not something they deal in. Maybe they want crime to actually rise as opposed to them lying through their teeth about it rising. Then they can use that actual crime wave as the impetus for more draconian bullshit. 

Why get rid of PBS and the National Endowment for the Arts? SESAME STREET IS AN AMERICAN INSTITUTION. Did Oscar the Grouch big time Trump at a meet and greet or something? LegalAid, Homes for Vets, EPA funding, all of these things are insubstantial parts of government spending and yet they are the ones to get the axe because we are being run by an even more aggressive strain of tactless moronic bozos than usual.

Public education funding in Puerto Rico is being cut by 53%. That is criminal. Everything these people do is criminal, but this is just cold. This cut, among all the things, is a good example of why America as an ideal of democracy is a mirage. We colonized Puerto Rico. We said they were a part of the US, but we never granted them statehood because then they would have equal rights, which is not something the powers that be were interested in. And now their foundation is being laid to waste because America decided the education and well being of Puerto Rican children was not important to American interests. That is some rotten shit.
