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. People will suffer. Diseases will spread, and cures will not be found. ... our nation will be much darker and more dangerous."

"'Cruel and unusual,' the phrase rings in my head as I read the press reports of President Donald Trump's proposed budget," he added.

Yeah, Dan. Because no one ever died before Trump’s budget.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
For decades this scumbag Rather has been a thoroughly indoctrinated anti-American Leftist who is largely responsible for turning the mainstream news media into a completely untrustworthy disseminator of lies and fake news.

I’m sure someone already said it but I will anyway, “I hope it is Dan Rather that dies.”

As if people haven’t died in the left-wing nirvanas of Venezuela, Cuba, and several African nations that have taken the Marxist route like our Dems increasingly want. People will die here too once the ponzi scheme of our blob-like national debt collapses and our economy goes with it, unless something is done about it beforehand. Trump is trying to prevent that and boost our economy so that we can have good jobs and wages and a secure future.

You know, the case can be made that if we spent more money on the right things, fewer people would die.

For example, if we built roads with more, wider lanes, and put better guardrails everywhere, and spent tax dollars subsidizing new bumper technology, we could probably save a few thousand lives a year.

The question is whether the money not spent, and therefore able to spend somewhere else, will do more good in the other stream of spending.
