In WaPo today, there was an article about the budget proposal

I can't find the link now. But the gist of it is that liberals should be happy that this the proposed budget is so extreme, because it shows how many very vital programs the federal government has been funding, like Meals on Wheels, that people may not have realized before.

I think there will be a great pushback on it, from every lawmaker except the far right ones in safe districts. The budget that gets passed won't resemble this one at all.

Just another thing Donnie has flubbed.

Though it'd be interesting to see the IQ distribution of his supporters, since there isn't a straight correlation between education level and intelligence.

True on MOST accounts.

Unfortunately, I've seen too many videos of tRumputin supporters lately who are saying that they STILL support tRumputin even though he's about to cut their throats by removing their health care from them. Some even believe that fake news meme of his, and even though you keep trying to tell them that the health care they have IS Obamacare, they still don't believe it. To be honest though, you have to admit that Democrats really didn't roll out Obamacare too well from the VERY beginning. Now they're trying to play catch up.

Anyway ...

Sometimes, you just have to face facts that some people are just that damn stupid. I only wish that people who voted for tRumputin and who still believe in him were the only ones hurt or losing their health care and not those who didn't fall for the BS coming out of tRumputin's lying, putin-loving pie hole.
