Oh, how we wish we could ‘move on’… Yet, are YOU ok with the complete elimination [i.e.: “zero out”] of these federal programs? Trump’s budget is… This is no joke or exaggeration. He is proposing to ELIMINATE these programs COMPLETELY… (If you do not know what these programs do, we suggest you take the time to Google them. Just because they do not impact you directly – or you don’t think they do! – does not mean they are not worthwhile and worthy of your hard-earned tax dollars.)
