Spicer: " there is an assumption that less $$$ equals a cut" I'd laugh if it didn't make me cry.

He was just asked a question about the Trump budget DEVASTATING programs for medical research. He responded "there is an assumption that that less $$$ equals a cut." Direct quote my friends. He is now claiming that all $$$ for these programs is a waste of money.

1. He has a point -in very rare circumstances.

But the cuts he's talking about are nothing about 'efficiency'. It's to cause more hardship and more pain.

2. He's talking about devastating programs and selling it as enforced "efficiency"

[randome]

3. That he is. And isn't it telling that he can't specify what inefficiencies are being singled out?

It's like, "Well there must be SOME inefficiencies so that justifies our massive cuts!" Idiots.

6. This is the Trump bullshit - getting more for less. He tried to sell that to the navy when he went

And appeared on that ship. It didn't go over well.

8. I think my "favorite" line was when the budget guy said they were thinking of the steelworker

in Pittsburgh or the woman with two children when they decided to cut Meals on Wheels, the Arts, Education (guess they can't appreciate the arts and won't mind if Pops dies and the kids have limited access to education.

10. Hey whatever it takes to Make America Great Again

Hey it's not like trump is saying they can't eat, they can't go to school or go to the theatre. C'mon.

9. By Ayn Rand rules, that probably true.

If we lived in anarchy, or believed that its every man for himself, yeah, that's the belief. If we have no civilization, no society standards, no communities, if we are becoming a libertarian's dream, everything that takes money out of the pockets of greedy individual's are a waste.
