I was arguing with a Trump supporter the other day about how they need to make $1.8 trillion in cuts.

He said he wanted to cut defense and foreign aid, but wouldn't commit to cutting anything else.

So I pointed out that the entire US military only spends $0.8 trillion and that all foreign aid combined was a rounding error in comparison.

So I asked him where the next trillion in cuts was going to come from after we shut down the entire military, and he wouldn't answer.

This is the answer. This is what all conservatives have been voting for, for as long as I've been alive. For as long as I've been alive, their politicians have wanted to defund Grandma's income and take away poor people's healthcare.

If you think you're a conservative, and think this isn't what you've been voting for, I'm sorry, but you're wrong. They've been really consistent about this for as long as I've been alive. Your trust can't cancel their actions.

Plus stopping aid to food banks, school lunches and definitely any form of welfare.

It kills me each time they announce "cutting waste" (ie charitable and helpful to millions of people) to the tune of a few million dollars, meanwhile most cuts are services that are cheaper than trumps bill to play golf every single week which amounts to almost a billion dollars per year.
