Trump and Paul Ryan Head for a Clash Over the Budget, and Ideology

[still_one]

"Mr. Trump’s budget blueprint — which is expected to be central to his address to Congress on Tuesday night — sets up a striking clash with the House speaker, Paul D. Ryan, who has made a career out of pressing difficult truths on federal spending. For years, Mr. Ryan has maintained that to tame the budget deficit without tax increases and prevent draconian cuts to federal programs, Congress must be willing to change, and cut, the programs that spend the most money — Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid."

Paul Rayn is a POS. Those programs he wants to cut are programs that AMERICANS have been paying into for decades, and are ENTITLED to its benefits, THESE JACKASS RIGHTWING ASSHOLES want to STEAL those benefits from the AMERICAN PEOPLE. They need to be stopped

1. The war budget consumes a trillion dollars or so each year.

Amazing how war needs ever higher amounts of money while the social safety net needs less.

The USA is number one in war spending.

6. Agreed.

I am old enough to remember the many stories about waste and fraud in the war budget.

Those type of stories vanished years ago. Either there is no more waste and fraud, or.....................the US corporate media, where war profiteers own the media, has decided that fraud can only be committed by welfare recipients and the millions of illegal voters that Trump claimed to have evidence of.

7. Dems have the ability to split Trump from the GOP on some of these issues

If they play it right.

9. The Democrats will still need 3 republicans in the Senate to accomplish

that

12. Republicans are fucking psychos, all of them. Democrats will need to fillabuster

and force republicans to 100% own any legislation passed, unless Democrats get 100% of what we want.
