I fell more offended by this being to bolster defense spending than if this was to pay for his stupid wall.

I've never understood this either. We spend so much on defense. Why pump more money into it? What are we so afraid of that we distribute so much of our national budget to fending off?

 

[BitStyle]

So much for fixing inner-cities (which we knew was bullshit anyway)

it has always been ironic that the party known for its machismo lives in a state of perpetual fear

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Oh I see.

Since the draft can't be brought back, the government is simply going to take funding away from everything that isn't related to defense.

When there's nothing left, people (unless they're born into rich families) will be forced to join the military if they want to survive.

Should just be honest and change the GOP motto to 'Fuck the poor'.

 

[Fancyarcher]

Trump broken promises number 789.

HUD Secretary Ben Carson has taken a staunchly conservative stance on public assistance in the past, saying dependency on HUD programs could become “a way of life” for recipients.

Yea, why can't those damn poors find their bootstraps and become rich like everyone else.

defense spending goes to military contractors which is spread out by congress to favored districts for military projects, essentially money going to mostly republican districts.

HUD spending goes to poor areas who mostly vote democrat.

follow the money on any budget decision and you usually figure out quickly why its happening.

 

[LifEndz]

Just cartoonish levels of evil. Fuck the environment and fuck the poor, but tax breaks for the rich. Truly disgusting.

When pressed for comment, Sean Spicer replied, "Would you trust Ben Carson with $6 billion dollars?"

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Shocking. The pilfering of every single quality of life function begins.

It's not that bad tho. 1%'ers will be fine!

Nuff said. People will make arguments that sound ideological, fiscal or even moral… But in the end, it's just politics.

 

[Netherscourge]

All of Trump's cabinets appointments were done to make dismantling those departments easier.

HUD is one of them.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Opps wrong thread

 

[kiunchbb]

Instead of helping the middle class, we'll just make the poor even poorer.

 

[Dead Prince]

i mean the cut probably make sense. why pay to fix something that's about to destroy itself. when they redirect the money somewhere else.

 

[Koomaster]

The plan so far seems to be to just tear everything down in the country and start from scratch - beginning with the wall. Then I guess everything else just falls into place afterwards?

 

[Christian]

Stupid poor people. If you want housing, you shouldn't buy that newest iPhone. Or get health insurance. Then maybe you'd be able to afford a place to live.

Great post.

Politics as usual

 

[cooljeanius]

Looks like it's not cutting rent assistance, but community projects and building maintenance.

Oh, so I'll be allowed to stay here but instead we'll lose our repair guy and everything will fall apart. I suppose that's not as bad...

 

[Fulminator]

Looks like the housing crisis is going to get a little bigger huh

Thanks Trump

Did someone say WAR ECONOMY?

Metal Gear Solid 2 coming true was fucked up enough as is. If fucking MGS4 and Revengeance ends up being accurate reflections of the world then we know the simulation is broken and needs to be rebooted.

 

[rokkerkory]

great job folks voting against your own interests

 

[onadesertedisland]

Can't vote if you can't afford to live.

I don't know. At least in Revengeance practically everyone has awesome cybernetic limbs and can run up walls.

Our future is just going to be a dystopian warmachine, but without any of the cool stuff..

 

[NullPointer]

"What do you have to lose?"

Mmmhmm

 

[family_guy]

Well I don't think most of the people he was talking to voted for him anyway. On the other hand many didn't vote at all. This was definitely not the time to sit on the sidelines or do a protest vote.

 

[Jmanunknown]

Stuff like this is why fools like Jim Brown and Ray Lewis, and Martin Luther King Jr's son should have never met with Trump in the first place. All it does is reinforce that they were used as a props to further trumps agenda.
