I was disgusted by the "compassionate" cuts he talked about. I thought I'd calmed down about it until I saw him on "Meet the Press" yesterday.

The military does need upgrading but not that much money. The coal miner Mulvaney refers to has children who benefit from the CPB through programs such as Sesame Street and Reading Rainbow. They clearly have an agenda and will do what is needed to stick to it.

You have certainly been thinking and studying about these issues, as becomes clear when you read your post. I am in your camp, to be sure. I'm sickened and saddened about the lack of compassion in this budget. I read this opinion article recently about the cruelest cuts in the budget. http://edition.cnn.com/2017/03Denise Krebshttp://mrsdkrebs.edublogs.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899447029099688486.post-65680453959854496192017-03-20T06:19:46.611-04:002017-03-20T06:19:46.611-04:00Mulvaney, who has long been associated the Heritag...Mulvaney, who has long been associated the Heritage Foundation (I believe), is all about tearing down the budget *except for bombs and war. It's a disgrace on so many levels, leaving so many struggling families on the lurch while the Wall Street fat cats, and friends of Trump, sit in DC, wielding power. Are things moving towards Fascism?
