Washington Post in non-breaking news (because we expected it).

 

This makes me so mad that I could jump start my car without any cables.  The cuts go to Medicare, medicare research, the National Science Foundation, the social safety net, and anything that’s gonna cure anything.

The National Cancer Institute would be hit with a $1 billion cut compared to its 2017 budget. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute would see a $575 million cut, and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases would see a reduction of $838 million. The administration would cut the overall National Institutes of Health budget from $31.8 billion to $26 billion.

Oh damn, the Canadians are going to build a wall to keep us out.

Look, the rich already don’t pay their fair share of taxes because they hide their money in off-shore accounts.  They don’t need help.

“I’m not really concerned about how many billions billionaires have,” said Glenn Hubbard, former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President George W. Bush.

Holy crap, y’all, when even Republicans are concerned, there’s a big problem.
