Well, the President's budget is shortsighted. It is reckless. Hopefully, it is dead on arrival when it lands here in the House. President Trump and Republicans want to throw billions of dollars more on defense programs and drastically cut investments in job training, afterschool programs, and lifesaving medical research. Think about this: It cuts Social Security disability benefits. If you are a worker in Saginaw looking for your next job, you are out of luck. President Trump wants to cut worker training programs. If you are a senior in Bay City, Michigan, and you depend on Meals on Wheels, too bad. President Trump wants to take away those meals, take away that contact that you have. If you are a parent in Flint with a child in Head Start just trying to find a way forward, too bad. President Trump's budget will cut support for education and for early childhood education. A budget is a statement of our values. What does this document say about the values of this President? We must reject the President's proposed budget. It is bad for America. ____________________
