Trump Announces Budget Update to Fund Special Olympics, Manned Mars Mission
Breitbart ^ | 14-05-19 | NATE CHURCH

Posted on 05/14/2019 12:22:17 PM PDT by McQ444

Trump was effusive about updates to the budget supporting the Special Olympics, and a return to space “in a BIG WAY.”“Today, I officially updated my budget to include $18 million for our GREAT @SpecialOlympics,” Trump tweeted, “whose athletes inspire us and make our Nation so PROUD!”“Under my Administration, we are restoring @NASA to greatness and we are going back to the Moon, then Mars,” the President also said. “I am updating my budget to include an additional $1.6 billion so that we can return to Space in a BIG WAY!”And despite an original proposal that cut the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative budget by 90%, the president included a half billion dollars for environmental restoration projects: $300 million in funding for the aforementioned initiative, and another $200 million for the Army Corps Everglades restoration work.

Spend and more spend is nice.

But what about cut, cut, cut, cut and cut some more? Where’s the plan to defund NPR, Planned Parenthood, eliminate the Department of [No] Education, Dept of Energy, wipe out the 1, 289 overlapping and conflicting welfare programs, etc, etc, etc.

Where’s the plan to spend money on what’s really important like a double fence on the Mexican border with a half-mile no-man’s-land between the two fences lined with crocodile moats and claymores?

Two things that a debtor nation should not be spending money on.

I guess he can ask Pelosi and Schumer for money to secure the border, but I doubt they do very much.

There’s something called Democrats who hold the house and have stopped all those items.

If only the Republicans would own the House, the Senate, and the Presidency, then we could REALLY get stuff done!

How in the hell do you justify $18 million for sports? They run. They jump. They swim. It’s not like this could not be held in any universally complex in America. Sorry pissing money away.
