Trump's NASA Budget Cancels Europa Lander and Asteroid Redirect Mission

* 31% / $2.6 billion cut to the EPA

* 21% / $4.7 billion cut to the USDA - includes programs such as SNAP, aka food stamps, National Forest Service and grant funding for water and sewage infrastructure

A healthcare plan that hoses the poor, sick and old by crippling Medicare with block funding, while repealing billions of taxes on the wealthy.

And a multitude of cuts to public services and programs such as the National Endowment for the Arts and Corporation for Public Broadcasting (0.02% of the budget) https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/03/15/us/politics/t...

All while increasing military spending by $53 billion to $574 billion, to the most advanced and well funded military in the world (over $400 billion more than the next biggest budget, China at $146 billion, and more than the rest of the world combined) Add another $4 billion this year for a pointless wall that's going to take tens of billions to complete.

Who are we preparing to go to war against here? I thought the alt-right was against more military misadventures.

Why do we, in one of the wealthiest nations on earth, need to gut basic science, the current threadbare social safety net, and the little environmental protection we have to fund the military industrial complex? I'm seriously concerned for the future of this country if this holds up for four years.
