"I'm having trouble believing the hysteria about this particular budget item. When I think of all the things our Federal Government does, I have trouble seeing how this can rank so high in importance among people."

The president proposes. It is congress that disposes and obviously quite a few repubs write stuff like this into legislation. People should write to their congress people telling them they have to stop this rather than pick on the president about everything.
