Another broken campaign promise. Trump promised not to ‘touch social security or Medicare.’ If you will be eligible in the next few years to begin receiving your social security benefits; benefits you and your employee have already paid for, you may have to wait a little longer.

Trump’s budget proposal gives huge tax cuts to the rich, and will give the Pentagon a $54 billion raise. To pay for these, he is cutting the funding for 18 agencies which aid low income and impoverished Americans. He is also cutting funding for the Social Security Administration.

He is encouraging 15,000 of the agencies 62,000 employees to take an early retirement; they will not be replaced. At present about 61 million Americans receive social security payments, and that number is expected to rise quickly in the coming years.

Here are just a few of the other agencies which will experience a loss of revenue from Trump’s budget: Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program; Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Contingency Fund; Housing and Urban Development; and the biggest of all, the Environmental Protection Agency.

Trump will continue to waste taxpayer money traveling to Mar-a-Lago and other golf courses. So far Trump and his spawn have spent more than 35 million taxpayer dollars. They are using your money to have a four year vacation.

Trump in 2016: “I’ll be too busy making great deals; who will have time to golf?”

Please re-post; thank you.
