Cut the bloated and overextended military. Cut off foreign aid to countries that hate us regardless. Stop policing the world. Stop corporate welfare.

i find it hard to beleive we are stil functioning as a society ( jk ) . our doom and gloom president will stop at nothing to try to further divide the people in this nation - what a pathedic joke he is added to the fact that he is an egotistical maniac who can NEVER do anything wrong. the citizens of this country need to demand that everyone in the senate and congress should take at least a 20 percent paycut ( they haven't been doing their job for years ) they should have to experience what most AMERICANS have had to deal with for the last 5 years.

The cuts are less then 3 percent of the budgets and AC is saying alot of Mays and Coulds. Managers are unwilling to trim their budgets and will attempt to inflict as much pain on the public as they can. Eventually you'll cave and demand tax increases

Headstart is a waste. The governments own reports have said as much. Discretionary spending by the government, adjusted for inflation, might be scaled back to spending levels of 2009. You remember all the way back to 2009, don't you? How did we LIVE, for crying out loud????

How could anyone know what measly cuts will happen where? Stop the fear-mongering, AC.
