White House links to satirical column mocking Trump’s budget

Numerous proposals are likely to be reworked by Congress. The National Institutes of Health faces a $5.8 billion cut, also 18% from its current budget, to $25.9 billion in total. Much work needs to be done in order to address major issues like the national debt and needed reforms to entitlements, taxes and health care policy. The federal government funds somewhere around 60 percent of all scientific research in the USA, and much of that funding comes from the NIH and the NSF.

Though the budget rolls back spending on medical research, it reaffirms the government’s efforts to fighting the spread of HIV and AIDS.

“It’s not just bad for MA, it’s bad for the country”, Baker said, calling the NIH proposal “particularly alarming”.

“I’m not sure what performance outcomes they’ve saying they’re not seeing”, said Melissa Pearce, the president and CEO of Community Action of Wayne and Medina Counties. There are also proposed cuts to climate change research, and global climate change programs. “It’s what we might call a suggestion. I’ve seen a whole bunch of presidential budgets submitted”, said Rep.

In any event, Trump’s plan – a 53-page “skinny budget” the White House calls a mere “blueprint” – won’t make it through Congress as is.

The president’s proposal represents a first step in the budget process and any spending plan would need approval from Congress. CBO also projected the bill would reduce federal deficits by $337 billion over the coming decade, with most of the savings associated with reductions in Medicaid outlays and the elimination of ACA subsidies for nongroup health insurance. We went through his speeches.

Under the proposed blueprint, the administration would boost spending on the Department of Veterans Affairs by 6 percent.

Referring to Trump budget director Mick Mulvaney’s claim that Meals on Wheels is “just not showing any results”, and therefore funding for it will be cut, Petri mockingly writes: “Feed children just to feed them?”

President Donald Trump is proposing some eye-popping cuts in federal agencies that will have direct, negative effects on communities across the country, including the Shoals. All we did is take a dollar away from over here and reprioritize it over there.

Trump’s budget outline covered just “discretionary” spending, or programs that must be renewed annually by Congress, for the 2018 fiscal year starting on October 1.

Under the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 the president is required to submit a comprehensive budget proposal to the Congress by the first Monday in February.

Among those opposed to the proposed cuts are Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA), ranking member of the House Education and the Workforce Committee.

The Community Services Block Grant – which sends more than $8 million to CT agencies that work with low-income communities – would also be eliminated. Here’s how the Trump administration’s allocated budget will affect the two departments in the time to come, given the budget is passed. The marine research and education program received $1.2 million in federal funding through the NOAA previous year. “And we can achieve this without undermining vital U.S. economic and national security interests”, Royce said. The Departments of Labor, State, and Agriculture would all see cuts of more than 20 percent and the Environmental Protection Agency’s budget would be slashed by 30 percent.
