Large majority of the public opposes Trump budget cuts.

Political Wire:

A new Quinnipiac poll finds American voters oppose the spending cuts listed in President Trump’s proposed federal budget, including 70% to 25% against eliminating the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

By wide margins, however, American voters say other proposed cuts are a bad idea:
• 87% to 9% against cutting funding for medical research;

• 84% to 13% against cutting funding for new road and transit projects;

• 67% to 31% against cuts to scientific research on the environment and climate change;

• 83% to 14% against cutting funding for after school and summer school programs;

• 66% to 27% against eliminating the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities;

• 79% to 17% against eliminating the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program.

1. So, don't they know they have a representative to vote

for their desires? Oh, wait, hardly any of the House vote the way their constituents want. They only vote to make themselves richer.

2. Well then there is a major disconnect somewhere.

The ONE party that wants to cut all of those things and more, controls most state governments and all branches of the national government. I know that it is group and individual psychology at play, but damn people are dumb!!

3. Michigan is getting cut by $300 million for the Great Lakes.

Repugs are gonna be pissed when they have to swat at flying Asian carp with an oar. Hey, maybe Lake Erie will catch fire again!

4. Crazy, isn't it (his proposed budget actually eliminates all funding)?

So much for 'Pure Michigan'.
