Veteran journalist and former CBS News anchor Dan Rather predicted dire outcomes if the White House's federal budget proposal were to take effect, including death.

"Rather than investing in what will truly make America great, this philosophy pounds its chest with false bravado," Rather said in a Facebook note. "People will die because of this budget.

Sounds like he didn’t read the budget but only the MSM’s reports on the budget. And yes, people will die this year. Lots of them. Being human is a mortal condition.

Liberals need to get a new playbook. I knew the “people will die” gambit would be trotted out, it just took slightly longer than I thought it would.

Despite the fact that WE ALL KNOW there is huge waste and fraud in the federal government, there is NOT ONE SINGLE SPENDING CUT they will like, ever.

ODUMB$HIT even promised to pay for his idiotic programs by “cutting waste and fraud” - none of which he ever seemed to find and cut.
