That budget Trump signed
Forums:
I’m reading about a few things that are in it and I thought I’d share:
What's in the bill:
The U.S. Census saw a $1.34 billion increase, "double what the Trump administration requested," CBS reports.
Trump proposed last year to cut nonmilitary spending by $54 billion. That didn't happen, Politico reports.
It doesn't eliminate funding to Planned Parenthood, something conservatives were betting on, per the Daily Caller.
In July, the House Appropriations subcommittee on transportation voted to cut funding for TIGER, a grant program created by Obama. Under the new budget bill, its funding was tripled.
Per Politico, the bill doesn't "add new detention beds for undocumented immigrants," like Trump wanted.
Axios' Jonathan Swan and Stef Kight reported this week that Republicans failed to cut federal funds to sanctuary cities in the bill.
When Trump threatened a veto, he acknowledged that the "BORDER WALL, which is desperately needed for our National Defense, is not fully funded."
Trump proposed in February to replace food stamps with monthly boxes of nonperishable foods. Politico reports that didn't receive funding.
Per Politico, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Legal Services Corporation were provided with "modest funding increases," despite the plan to get rid of them.
Trump proposed cuts to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, and Pell Grants. Each of these saw an increase in funding.
The Department of Energy's renewables budget was raised by 14%, despite Trump's desired cuts.

No money for new wall building and no cuts to Planned Parenthood. Thanks Donnie!

The spending bill also
The spending bill also retains the $445 million in funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which helps fund public TV and radio stations. The legislation also included $20 million for upgrading the public broadcasting interconnection system, and $27.7 million for the Department of Education’s Ready to Learn program.

>>>>>I heard some people
>>>>>I heard some people referring to this as the “March For Change” but I’m pretty sure that has to do with wooks and panhandling, not gun control.
Buck, what's your feelings on corporate panhandling while we're on the budget topic??
