Should we help people who really need help or help no one?
I’ve been waiting all my life for an honest Federal Budget. But Republicans still don’t get it. They should have been forwarding selling this budget for the past few months.

Conservatives want to live in reality. If entitlements continue to consume 100 percent of our gross domestic product, there will be no money for anyone. We have to help the people who absolutely need it and then help them get off of assistance.
How poor should you be to get food stamps and what should you be able to buy with them? We have to focus and triage what we do. Food stamps should only be used to sustain people who really need it. If you’re in college, you don’t get to have an EBT card because you are employable, you could go out and get a job while your are in college.
These are the kinds of cuts in our Federal Budget that I applaud.
The Washington D.C. business model is if you want more money, just take it. But the Trump budget may force these agencies to reform and live in the real world.
The people who really need it, should get help. But we are speeding towards a brick wall; we can either slow down and gently hit the wall or we can hit it with full force.
I’m a fan of the Trump budget because it tells the truth.
