Donald Trump wasn’t my first choice for president. I was. But he was my second choice, and I’m proud that I supported him. In tackling the federal budget, he faces a debt that has doubled to $20 trillion in the past eight years. No doubt a chainsaw seems more appropriate to the task at hand than a carving knife, but I would urge my president and friend to hold back from one tiny area of the budget whose elimination would cost far more than it would save.

Um, no thanks Huckabee.
I am not looking forward to postponing retirement to age 85, just so the NEA can keep getting our money.
You have to start somewhere.
The NEA is an entity designed to fund the Left.
Shut up Mike.
(He’s already maneuvering).
People who are deeply in debt should cut out unnecessary spending. Countries that are deeply in debt should cut out unnecessary spending.
How hard is that to understand, Mr. Huckabee?
you pay for it Mike
Huckster’s true colors shining through again.
GOFUND yourself. I can’t afford my higher taxes.
Absolutely ridiculous article. Please, Mike, take your bass fiddle and leave.
Huckaebee is a bleeding heart. Not unusual for a minister.
(He’s already maneuvering).
Yeah, I was surprised to see him last night or so on TV I said where did this guy come from and what the heck is he talking about here?
Geeze!
Yes, so more art can be made of my God on cross with urine the center of attention. Real art will fund itself. It isn’t art when tax payers money pay to have it produced.
Huckabee is like Gingrich, both can say really insightful things at times, but you can always count on them to do or say something incredibly dumb.
Let me see, the last time theRepublicans held Congress and the White House and they eliminated none of these progressive budget babies was in 2001.
Would someone refresh my memory about the 2002 elections?
Oh yeah ... they LOST Congress!
It seems that the Democrats were able to paint the Republicans, who eliminated none of the programs Republican voters had long been saying ought to be, as “spendthrift”.
Then the Democrats showed us what REAL spending was like.
But don’t expect Republican voters to remember THAT. Nope, but do we ever have long memories when it comes to Republican failings. It’s only when Democrats remind us that sucking less is better than sucking to the max that they seem to prosper these days.
Government with $20 trillion in debt refusing to cut the NEA is like a severe diabetic declaring “but I can’t stop eating cookies. I need them.” And tomorrow it will be cake, ice cream and Rice Krispy treats that can’t be eliminated either.
Forget it Huck! The Hollyweirdos will have bleeding heart fundraisers out the wazoo and probably entertainment shows ad nauseum so they’ll get to continue crying about Trump the Scrooge. Hell, they’ll end up with more money than ever!
