Meanwhile, Trump's Budget Is A Betrayal Of Everything Americans Claim To Value | Crooks and Liars
Meanwhile, Trump's Budget Is A Betrayal Of Everything Americans Claim To Value | Crooks and Liars
"This budget is a shot across the bow of Western Democracy itself, and even some Congressional Republicans don't want to touch it, despite how closely it resembles traditional GOP scripture. That's a good thing, too - it means that the GOP is either getting worried about the optics of defending the indefensible or that The Truth About Trump is sinking in at last. That truth is this: when he doesn't rely on assumptions or faulty math to govern, Trump relies on bluster - and when that fails, he's got nothing to stand on. Putting laughable math and hideous ethics into writing - into budget proposal form - makes these things concrete in a way that all of the political rhetoric in the world can't."

Trump Wants to Cut EPA’s Scientific Research in Half
http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/06/trump-wants-to-cut-epas-scientific-research-in-half/
"President Donald Trump’s budget proposal would slash the Environmental Protection Agency’s scientific research programs by nearly half, according to a new report prepared by former EPA staffers. The newly formed Environmental Protection Network is a coalition made up of retired employees from Republican and Democratic administrations, many of whom have had decades of experience running the day-to-day work at the agency. And on Monday, this group of lawyers, scientists, and policy wonks released an analysis of the White House budget ahead of congressional testimony that EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt is set to deliver on Thursday. The hearing will be the first time that Pruitt will have to defend the dramatic cuts the administration has proposed for the agency."
