Cute.....

Oh no. Anyway...
These cuts will weed out useless organizations. Surviving organizations will be leaner, and more efficient. Good stuff there.
But any money saved can easily be dwarfed by yet another huge Congressional deficit spending bill.
President Trump, please keep your veto pen handy.
Congress passes budgets.
President Trump spends actual cash.

Paraphrasing Davy Crockett
“We have the right, as individuals, to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress we have no right so to appropriate a dollar of the public money. “

If these same federal Politicians feel this defunding is incorrect, let them open their own wallets to fund.
Federal grants, free money for those connected, no more
