Its not law yet, and it doesnt cut overall spending that much. Nor does it significantly cut the deficit or come close to balancing the budget, which will never come under control until the 800 lb. elephant in the room entitlements are gutted dramatically.
And it doesnt go as far as I would in slashing and burning the DC bureaucracy largely unconstitutional a giant sucking sound of redistribution of wealth from hardworking Americans to the blood-sucking leeches in the nations capitol.

Seditious organizations all. Well, perhaps an exaggeration, but government certainly has no business there.
let’s be very clear about these 19 agencies
they are filled with exceedingly well paid ( like $300,000 mid level
people ) who do very little.
I interacted with about 1/3 of these agencies in a past career. all are rife with Deadwood and Nepotism

I’ll bet 90% of the employees, that, have degrees, at these agencies have degrees in lesbian studies.
This is the opening position of a negotiation.
The Environmental Protection Agency, the State Department and the Agriculture Department took the hardest hits. The proposal also eliminates funding for these 19 agencies:
African Development Foundation
Appalachian Regional Commission
Chemical Safety Board
Corporation for National and Community Service
Corporation for Public Broadcasting
Delta Regional Authority
Denali Commission
Institute of Museum and Library Services
Inter-American Foundation
US Trade and Development Agency
Legal Services Corporation
National Endowment for the Arts
National Endowment for the Humanities
Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation
Northern Border Regional Commission
Overseas Private Investment Corporation
US Institute of Peace
US Interagency Council on Homelessness
Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars
But your point is valid that the President does not have to take further action on the budget and has fulfilled his campaign promise.

Precisely.I clicked off it in 10 seconds.
Anyone who cavalierly suggests gutting entitlements should be subject to the gutting process first.

Dude, NO ONE one is “entitled” to a damn thing they cannot pay for with their own money, or acquire by some mutually agreed upon quid pro quo.
Every institution and organization on your list should be defunded immediately.
Entitlements should be eliminated, not gutted.

Ditto. See my post #29.
I’d settle for not giving any benefits to illegals - but that’s just me

We all should be loudly DEMANDING the termination of every single benefit for which these illegal CRIMINAL aliens are now eligible.
is there another site that doesn’t explode your web browser with so many stupid ads? Ridiculous.
I should point out that the OP wasted his time with this post. I did not view the page at all. I closed every popup as soon as I could.
But more than that, it has started a conversation that now includes cutting deadwood. Not much deadwood, but the MSM can't avoid the discussion even if their only contributions to it are wailing and the gnashing of teeth. The establishment knows that once one useless agency is cut, it will be a beachhead and the precedent will be set. When the American people see that an agency can be cut and the sun still rises the following day that is potentially a major turning point in our history.
I don’t have that problem.
