Make a deal with these guys. I will restore the Coast Guard budget but I will take the money out of the EPA budget.

Everyone wants to cut, until the cutting starts.

Then one segment of our society or another has a pet project you’re not supposed to touch.

Pretty soon you’re back to where you started, no cuts, and talking about needing to start making cuts.

USCG has been patrolling the Great Lakes with a pre-WW II icebreaker until recently.

I imagine PRESIDENT Trump has heard some of the Coast Guard PSAs on talk radio that I have. According to the PSAs, the Coast Guard is “savin’ da enviomen”. Pisses me off. OTOH, it is my humble opinion that Coast Guard Rescue has some of the finest helicopter pilots around. To me, Coast Guard rescue, aviation and marine, are some awesome dudes.

There are ways to cut the budget without cutting the ability to do the job when needed. Let’s try those first.

With baseline budgeting, is this really a cut or just a reduction in spending?
