Trumps budget makes PERFECT sense and will fix America, and I will tell you WHY

[ehrnst]

Some people are complaining that the budget proffered by the Trump administration, despite its wonderful macho-sounding name, is too vague and makes all sorts of cuts to needed programs in favor of increasing military spending by leaps and bounds. These people are wimps. Office of Management and Budget director Mick Mulvaney has called it a “hard power budget” which is, I think, the name of an exercise program where you eat only what you can catch, pump up your guns and then punch the impoverished in the face. This, conveniently, is also what the budget does.

This budget will make America a lean, mean fighting machine with bulging, rippling muscles and not an ounce of fat. America has been weak and soft for too long. BUT HOW WILL I SURVIVE ON THIS BUDGET? you may be wondering. I AM A HUMAN CHILD, NOT A COSTLY FIGHTER JET. You may not survive, but that is because you are SOFT and WEAK, something this budget is designed to eliminate.

What are we cutting?
.........................................................
The State Department, by 29 percent: Right now, all the State Department’s many qualified employees do is sit around being sad that they are never consulted about anything. This is, frankly, depressing, and it is best to put them out of their misery. Besides, they are only trained in Soft Diplomacy, like a woman would do, and NOBODY wants that. Only HARD POWER now that we have a man in charge who thought the name Rex Tillerson was not manly enough and rechristened himself Wayne Tracker. With the money we will save on these sad public servants, we will be able to buy lots of GUNS and F-35s and other cool things that go BOOM and POW and PEW PEW PEW.

1. Ain't it the truth

[exboyfil]

2. Miltary careers will be made

Body bags will be filled.

But you Trump voter will get a nice folded flag, a purple heart medal, and your memories or your son or daughter.

Maybe Trump will throw in a MAGA cap.

3. Concur with the MAGA cap idea.

For the rest of his time in office, every military funeral should include a MAGA hat on top of the folded flag for the surviving family. That should be for every fallen hero as well as any veterans regardless of the cause of death.

What a perfect reminder of how he has rescued us from the 8 year nightmare.

(just in case)

8. I really like this idea as well. What more fitting tribute

than to have a MAGA cap for your mantel or display case? Some tangible trinket to make parents or wife or children PROUD that their kid gave his all and was canny enough to NOT get captured and thereby defame the Great nation that fashioned him/her into a pawn.

And beyond that...... How about "Make America Great Again" stenciled or embroidered on some piece of U.S. service person's outer-wear? Let's make it CLEAR to the Syrians, the Afghanis, the North Koreans - what our aims are as we come to call!

5. Petri is fantastic.

She's hilarious, and a real asset for WaPo. Rec, thanks.

6. People are going to starve because of these assholes

Many things we take for granted are a matter of life and death for some vulnerable people, like the poor and elderly. I'll increase my donations to food banks.

7. Well, you convinced me - going out to buy several guns

Ironic, isn't it - Buying guns for other than the reason there is a black man who is going to take them away.

[Plucketeer]

9. Yeah - I missed the boat on guns

When I was in Nam, alot of my fellow unit members were sending cool weapons and ammo home stateside from where we were stationed. Thompson sub-machine guns, M-16s, BARs, 45 automatics! Stupid-ass me..... I had yet to be imbued with the notion that it was my second amendment DUTY to stash guns against the day we'd have a black president who would round up all the LEGAL firearms. Pisses me off when I stop to think about how much stuff I could have put in that Yuge fancy trunk I'd bought. Instead, I filled it with custom-tailored civvy clothes! Clothes I'd "pork" out of within a year of discharge.

13. The only thing I can say is that this is the proposed budget

I can't believe that the congress will pass all the cuts in the budget. I think he is throwing crap against the wall to see what he can get away with
