Anytime I see Trump and government budget, I have to breathe deeply for a minute and just let the dread move off.

Bonus fun on SSDI-- If you take Medicare, it comes out of your already poverty-level monthly income. You end up with under $900/month and it's extremely miserable. Knowing that some Republicans think the system is wildly abused makes me ill. It's a horrible existence. No one would ever voluntarily choose it, but there's some irony in "the US does actually offer universal health care, but you have to be deemed effectively useless to society and then we'll still charge you for it anyway while you live off of nothing."
So, yeah. let's cut that? Fuck off.

Not for me, I'm getting Medicare and my monthly SSDI is $991.00.

I'd like to point out, there's zero chance that Trump had any significant input into this budget. He can't grind his way through a single page document unless his name is on it, or it has cartoons in the margins. At most, he may have asked what it would do to his own income, or maybe "is this 100% the opposite of what Obama would do?".
His administration wrote this bill. It's a GOP extremist wet dream. And though it won't pass, what eventually does pass will almost certainly still have cuts to all of these programs. And that's not just on Trump, or even his administration. It's on the GOP as a whole. Let's not forget that.

This hasn't even been sent to the Senate yet.
It still is, it hasn't even made the Senate yet. They just voted "yes" because Donald Trump needed a win in his first 100 days.
their point is every white house budget is DOA
Budgets and the spending bills to implement them are written by Congress. They will never vote on Trump's proposal. At best/worst they will include some of his priorities
Still, the house budget is going to be brutal because they need to cut a shitload if they want to include tax reform (without BAT) in reconciliation
My sentiments exactly. The people taking this L are his base, and although many (most?) will still support the man, I have to imagine some will realize they've made a terrible mistake.

As mentioned earlier in the thread, it's not gone to the Senate, and most likely looks like it's going to go back to the House before that to re-purpose it, so the process is going to start all over again. The 'victory' they had with AHCA isn't nearly what it appears to be, and what it appears to be isn't even that substantial to begin with.

How does Trump react when the house has to take the AHCA back for a vote again after the CBO blasts it into the stratosphere?
How does he react when his proposal is largely ignored lol? Apparently he wasn't happy the first go around.

Defense from who?
Yeah, I had a great career that I worked my ass off for and made 3x what I get from disability. I'm really living the dream, baby.
Apparently, if I just had more dignity I could work again. I wonder if the GOP can mail me some?

Good. Another reminder to Republicans that their hate boner for poor people is unpopular.

Don't need to allocate money for the wall when Mexico is going to pay for it.

I hope the landowners fight tooth and nail.
This is an old as hell business negotiating tactic: ask for more than you want and then "settle" for what you actually want.

There have been administrations very successful at passes horrible garbage, but these wastes of space can't even do that.
It's a total failure on every level and we need to spend the rest of Trumps life reminding him of this
Ah yiss, that's my congressman.

I know, and that's the shitty part.
It feels like these people would never learn if they don't suffer terribly at the hands of his policies, but at the same time they're holding innocent people hostage with their stupidity.
