What Is The Political Vision Behind Donald Trump’s Proposed 2018 Budget? Wicked, Cruel And Ugly

President Donald Trump’s proposed 2018 federal budget is monstrous and barbaric. It was not released to the public. It escaped. Despite the administration’s denials and evasions, Trump’s proposed budget is a wish list of wanton cruelty hiding behind a mask of “compassionate conservatism.” That cruelty is directed toward anyone who is not rich, white and male. window.hook_external_salon_video = function (){ var sYUI = window.sYUI || ( window.sYUI = YUI(slnm.config.yui) ); sYUI.use('slnmEventsTracker', 'salonVideoRealTimeTracking', function (Y) { window.slnmDebug('vrtt-ext', 'hooking video tracking for external video.', ''); Y.slnmEventsTracker.init(); window.slnmDebug('vrtt-ext', 'rechecking for video.', ''); Y.salonVideoRealTimeTracking.armTracker(); }); } When viewed on the broadest level, this budget is an act of political sociopathy that is bereft of any human decency or empathy. Its specific horrors include the fact that Trump and the Republican Party want to steal food from the hungry, deny shelter to the elderly and poor, deprive the sick and needy of medicine and other health care and take schooling away from children and young people in order to give hundreds of billions of dollars to the rich and the powerful. Ultimately, a country’s budget is a type of moral accounting.
