Here are the 66 programs eliminated in Trump's budget
By Niv Elis - 05/23/17 02:03 PM EDT

President Trump's fiscal 2018 budget proposal would completely eliminate 66 federal programs, for a savings of $26.7 billion. 

Some of the programs would receive funding for 2018 as part of a phasing-out plan.

Here are the programs the administration wants on the chopping block.

Mostly conduits for funneling public monies into private, and mostly liberal, pockets!

I like it!  It's a good start, but I would still like to see Planned Parenthood Abortion Mill and Public Broadcasting Indoctrination System on the list.  I'm hoping I just missed them while reading...

Congress will knock out many if not most of these cuts.

A full list of such programs would be extensive and would leave us wondering where the hell the money goes.

Well, guys, this so-called budget has to go through our illustrious representatives first, and I hear members of both parties are already squawking over the cuts.  This will be watered down considerably.

Ditto.  Yay Trump, for doing something Conservative.  Glad to have him on board with this one.

It wouldn't hurt the credibility of the usual suspects on this forum to lend a positive word to this news, which (I assume) should be welcome by all of us.

Just think of how much money could be saved if Congress only spent money constitutionally. That would include removing their perks and special insurance and retirement benefits.

Flood Hazard Mapping and Risk Analysis Program?

Hmmm...  There could be long-term costs to this, as development is increasing flood areas and if they aren't reassessed, the government will be undercharging for flood insurance relative to the risk (well, even more than they currently do).

Look, Trump Fans,  I will admit this proposal is a good start.  Forgive me for not prostrating myself in awe of your hero.  But you must understand there will be considerable pushback from the usual suspects in congress.  They are not about to let go of the entitlements they use to secure votes in their districts.  If half the cuts make it through, it will be a miracle.  Of course, I will rejoice if at least some of the cuts make it.   But we have to be realistic.  It's going to be a tough battle for whatever reductions we get.

Trump is FAR from "my hero"! Would you be kind enough to show me the last time any president proposed getting rid of anywhere near this amount of government BS?

How do they eliminate the risk analysis while keeping the National Flood Insurance Program?
