When Trump unveils his budget for the 2018 fiscal year on Thursday, conservative Republicans will be cheering proposed cuts to domestic programs that would pay for a military buildup. But more moderate Republicans are less enthusiastic and worry they could be forced to choose between opposing the president or backing reductions in popular programs such as aid for disabled children and hot meals for the elderly.

I feel like I should make the sign of the cross and throw holy water at it to try and exorcise the demon within and I'm not even Catholic.

...with a genuine smile? All I ever see is this smug, self-satified smirk. He is so repugnant.

He talked about domestic cuts also. I am sure most moderate pukes voted for him , but now they worry, not when he was campaigning ?
Well probably they thought the cuts applied to only black and brown folks

(61,695 posts)6. A rw'er tried to tell me that a bunch of
Aide for disabled kids was going towards helping immigrant, legal and not documented, disabled kids. I told him that was fine by me; They're kids and need all the help they can get, no matter what the parents' status is. That shut his smarmy ass up. He knew I have a disabled youngster and that he better shut up.
