The Trump Budget’s Approach to Welfare Is Based on Discredited Delusions
“The Trump administration has unveiled its vision for the federal budget — and that vision involves slashing more than $1 trillionfrom programs that aid low-income Americans so as to finance massive tax cuts for the very rich. The president’s budget cuts funding for Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, benefits to the disabled, nutritional assistance, and loan subsidies for non-affluent college students, while abolishing the tax on inherited estates worth over $5.3 million and radically reducing the tax rates on capital gains and income paid by the wealthiest people in America.”
