    Trump to propose $54 billion in cuts to 'most federal agencies'

    http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/27/politics/trump-budget-proposal/index.html

    A GOP dream come true. Fatten the military at the expense of everything else. And for what? What is and additional $54 billion on top of the already bloated $597 billion do to help fix the "mess" in the Middle East?

    Of course, he will gut the EPA and foreign aid to pay for it. I am guessing, though, it won't be the $38 billion to Israel that are on the chopping block, with Kushner standing behind him smiling, it is rather the remaining $3 billion to other countries, which of course doesn't pay much of the $54 billion bill.

    More money for wars and less for preventing pollution, what could possibly go wrong for the little guy? Not only will they have to send their children (not Trump's or those of the other elites) into wars, but they also will have corporations polluting their backyards at will.

    Of course, none of this is unexpected, the GOP-led race to the bottom continues.

    This is an area where Pres Trump is going to learn, it is much easier to say, than to do.

    Good news on the EPA. Maybe those rich, elite liberals living in gated, predominantly white suburbs will have to start breathing about the same quality air that the working people in the country do.

    You do realize that the people in the country breathe much cleaner air (on the average) than people living in suburbs, right?

    I meant the country in general.

    Those bureaucrats make comfortable 6 figure incomes when all their generous pensions and other benefits are accounted for. Certainly workers of their caliber will have no problem competing in the private sector.

    Have you ever drove along I-15 from L.A. to Las Vegas ?

    All that air pollution you see in the air in Vegas is L.A.'s pollution.

    The air pollution travels with the wind.

    Same with all of the plastic that the loony liberal greenies are always whining about in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean and blaming America and calling for regulations to outlaw plastic, plastic bags, etc. The left always talking science but always making (*)(*)(*)(*) up. They don't understand the ocean currents and trade winds. All of that plastic in the middle of the Pacific came from Asia not the USA. The ocean currents on America's west coast don't move east to west but south towards just before the equator then turns heading west.

    America's pollution problem is due to over population, uncontrolled immigration in the name of political correctness and the Democrat Party. America's population was suppose to have been capped at 170 million. -> http://ocp.hul.harvard.edu/immigration/dillingham.html
