Sen. Lindsey Graham
(R-S.C.) said Tuesday that President Trump’s first budget was “dead on arrival” and wouldn’t make it through Congress.
“It's not going to happen,” said Graham, according to NBC News. “It would be a disaster."
Graham, a frequent Trump critic, expressed concerns with Trump’s proposed cuts to the State Department budget, especially the targeting of foreign aid.
Trump will propose $54 billion in cuts to fund an equivalent boost in defense spending, White House officials said Monday. The administration will make massive cuts from the Environmental Protection Agency and State Department, even though both of their budgets combined barely come close to the Trump’s proposed defense hike. Graham said significant State Department cuts would endanger American Foreign Service officers.
"A budget this lean would put those who serve overseas for the State Department at risk,” said Graham. “And it's not going to happen."
Trump’s first budget proposal, slated to be released March 16, lacks key details but is already stoking bipartisan concern.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee members in both parties have spoken out against Trump’s proposed foreign aid cuts, defending the necessity of funding development projects in needy nations.

So in other words you rather just leave the field to the left, and then complain that they get whatever they want?
I have bad news for you. No one cares how much you work or how much taxes you pay. No one is going to spot you folks political credit because you didn’t bother to show up, nor is the left going to feel embarrassed and thus go home ashamed that they all supposedly dont have a job.
So explain when November rolls around.
Why are you guys showing up to vote for him in November?

Well, I was going to be all conservative and right wing and stuff, but thanks for convincing me through your a$$holeishness that I don’t belong.
Good job buddy! Another Democrat voter fresh minted!
Jerkoff.
“Well, I was going to be all conservative and right wing and stuff, but thanks for convincing me through your a$$holeishness that I don’t belong”
Well, to be frank, I dont really care if your feelings were hurt.
What I do notice is that you never bothered to state where I was lying.
Call it whatever you want, but dont pretend like what I said wasn’t true.
Isn’t Orrin Grant Hatch retiring in 2018; maybe I am wrong, but I thought I had read that. Maybe UT won’t let him go!
I hope he will, but these old fossils think we can’t live without them driving the country into the ditch.
Truth about useless time-wasting protests that would get me fired if I traveled several hundred miles using money I don’t have?
Well la tee da, I guess that IS the truth!
Just like you threw away all your precious video gaming time in your mother’s basement to get Obama voted out of office.
Oh wait, you didn’t do that.
You must agree with everything Obama did because you didn’t do that.
Call it whatever you want, but don’t pretend what I said wasn’t true.
You didn’t take any of your chicken tendie eating time to fill up any abortion clinics and stop them from grinding unborn children into paste.
You must support killing children, child killer lover.
Call it whatever you want, but don’t pretend what I said wasn’t true.
Now, the only response you deserve from me from now on is below. Any time you address me, this is the reply you’ll get. BTW, get a job, useless loser.

Yea, he makes ol’ Thurmond look a lot better in retrospect. But, remember, Strom in 1978 advocated a constitutional amendment to make DC a state.
“Just like you threw away all your precious video gaming time in your mother’s basement to get Obama voted out of office.”
That was seriously your go-to line? video games and mom’s basement? LOL! Total amateur hour here.
Someone got triggered hard.
Face it, you basically admitted that you dont care, and are “too busy” to deal with YOUR senator, and now think that if you toss out a bunch of slams like some lib running to Godwin’s Law, that somehow you think you really did something.
“BTW, get a job, useless loser.”
LOL!! This is as desperate and pathetic as the what a leftist does.
Settle down, Rambo. Go back to sitting on your ass and be a professional complainer. And in the future refrain from bitching and complaining about your Senator.
Well turn around is fair game
Push a conservative in the Democratic primary. If the demo are going to select the rep then the reps should choose for the dems.
