I would like to see these agencies dismantled, we need to cut them and a lot of people forget the Obama Administration added quite a few jobs the first year because of the great recession. The government got to bloated. We need to get it back in line for the American People and the priorities we have. Thanks for adding your voice.

Good morning. Caller i did vote for donald trump, and im giving him the benefit of the doubt that he doesnt know what paul ryan in them are trying to do. They are trying to make this bad so the older people wont vote for him again. You know paul ryan dislike him. What i dont get is how Mick Mulvaney this is how lack of knowledge in the real world they have. He says he doesnt want to take taxes away from the woman who has two kids and give to Something Like meals on wheels. A single woman with two kids doesnt really pay tax. Day,get at the end of the they get that earned income tax credit that she will probably get back 5,000 or 6,000. She gets food stamps, she gets section eight, she gets all these things. And the meals on wheels, those are older people, elderly people , get one hot meal a day. And a lot of times, that the only visitor they have for that day that can kind of check on them. I dont get that part. Hes going to give billions back to the Insurance Company executives. How much money does one group of people need . And at whose expense . Republican, but my sister, who happens to be a irat in the last call agree with you. They are cutting the wrong things at the wrong peoples expense.

Caller thats why i started out with im a trump voter, a trump supporter. Im at the rallies all this. But i feel like once we got him things the right we never intended for it to be old people and their one hot meal a day. We never intended for it to take School Lunches away from kids. And to give billions back to these insurance executives and believe me. They are not hurting. They are not hurting. This year, for the first time, i got obamacare. Before, i didnt have any insurance. I could go and get a mammogram of the grants. Im 63 years old, i could get it for free. I had my mammogram in january. In february, i got a bill from the insurance for 334. Ive talked to a different people between billing and the insurance, im trying to be legal and i have insurance, why do why have to pay 335 for a mammogram . I only make 900 a month. So please, mr. President. , us oldou in there people, we talked to our kids because we wanted somebody in there cutting the fraud and abuse. Not old people. Host karen, thank you for the call from norman, oklahoma. The president earlier this week was in michigan, speaking about american jobs. This is the headline from the trump is times, gambling in Cutting Services that aim his base. Opponents label it as taccone and draconian and shameful. This reaction from the House Democrat leader, Representative Energy flows in from california. [video clip] federal government should be a statement of our national values. What is important to us as a country should be reflected in how we allocate our resources in the budget. This budget is not a statement , president f anyone trump has shown he does not value the future of our children and working families. He fails to recognize that the health of america, the strength of america does not just depend on our military might, which is very important. Springs, our strength from the health, education, and wellbeing of the American People. Our strength depends on the power of our diplomacy, the health of our economy, and the vitality of our community, all of which are undermined by the president s budget. Of dollars in defense while ransacking americas investment in jobs, clean energy, and lifesaving medical research, it will lead our nation weakened. We all understand and respect our responsibility to defect protect and defend the American People, and to have a smart and strong Defense Budget. Budget and actions that are reckless and rash.

Caller i grew up in new york, and donald trump had one of his golf resorts, . 25 million a head membership. I have dealings with this guy before, he owed us more than 1 million in back taxes, and you never paid. He pays his lawyers to fight back. To get to this point, this budget is cold, and to be honest with you, a billionaire in the government right now, and the government run by billionaires and megabillionaires, this is cold. This is called the art of the deal with donald. Anybody who thinks he doesnt make a deal and doublecross you is out of their minds. Lawyers toleet of defend him, a tiny makes a deal. He cant even make a deal with american banks anymore. Word toxic, as far as his goes. , i thinku cut me off it is pretty cold wind for the last eight years, republican mantra was cut taxes and they will create jobs. , we cut taxes over and over and over again, and the jobs come back because that is the cycle of business. He goes up and down. His part ofp the deal is to tell you one thing, promise you great things the world that he doublecross is you. Host before we let you go, you elected official . How did you follow what trump did or did not do in your town . Caller i tried to be an elected official. Iran for the town board. Host thanks for the call. Share with you how this is playing out on the editorial pages. First from wall street journal, trumps reviewing budget. The annual budget is more than 4 trillion, the white house is proposing to shift in your 1. 35 of that to defense from other priorities. The notion that this is a wholesale much less cruel restructuring of the federal government is a fantasy. James joining us from murfreesboro, tennessee, independent line. Caller good morning.

Hime people who voted for in west virginia, and the appellations, they are going to die. , whenpeople dont know they are taking care of all their Health Insurance, he came andrallied in tennessee, these of the same peoples go to take their insurance from. When their children go hungry and their kids start dying at old people start dying, and theyre going to funerals, donald trump does not care. Paul ryan has been trying to kill the poor ever since he has been in office. Thats all i have to say. Host more tweaks. This is from david. The gop cares about one thing, and it is in the elderly. Is there tax cuts. Another caller saying let the soup lines and poorhouses return, make America Great again. Going back to the wall street journal, editorial, the larger lesson is how this spending choices are going to be if they refuse to reform entitlement as they gobble up even more federal dollars, mr. Trump is not helping by taking medicare and Social Security often reform table. Accounting for about two
