has been steering towards this all along. It seems the perfect way to shrink government to Norquist's standard while punishing those most vulnerable by eliminating the myriad pathways by which funding is provided. Who needs a plan to remove or alter the policies one by one when you can shut core sources down and hold them hostage to a single No?

Mulvaney certainly grasps this. I am sure Miller and the other nasty trolls who are hiding behind the Orangutan in chief have lots of other plans if Putin or the Kochs haven't already told them.
