Trump’s budget would eviscerate the social safety net but provide welfare for the rich
Much of the news coverage of President Trump’s proposed 2020 budget, which was released Monday, focuses on two aspects.
One: It’s just a PR exercise, since presidential budgets never get enacted. Two: Trump’s demand for $8.6 billion to build his border wall sets up a new conflict with Congress and maybe another government shutdown.
What shouldn’t fly under the radar, however, are the huge cuts to social safety net programs embedded in the document’s 150 appalling pages. These include drastic reductions in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid — which Trump always promised to protect from any cuts — and to food stamps, housing assistance and family assistance.

This should make him very popular with his base.
