Vote NO on Trump's budget proposal and cuts. Before reviewing a partial list of the cuts proposed, let’s summarize: The FY2027 budget requests $1.5 trillion for military spending and pays for it by gutting NOAA, FEMA grants, NIH, and fully eliminating programs that keep the lights on for struggling Americans. Here are some of the cuts: $2.2 billion - Broadband and internet access programs $8.5 billion - Funding for public schools $1.5 billion - Vocational training and adult education (Fully eliminated) $2.7 billion - College access and higher education support $15.2 billion - Roads, bridges, and infrastructure projects $1.1 billion - Home energy efficiency and clean energy programs (Fully eliminated) $1.1 billion - Scientific research funding $386 million - Environmental cleanup $150 million - Cutting-edge clean energy research $4 billion - Help paying home heating and cooling bills for low-income families (Fully eliminated) $768 million - Refugee resettlement assistance $819 million - Care and shelter for migrant children $775 million - Local anti-poverty programs (Fully eliminated) $5 billion - Public health programs, mental health services, and disease prevention $5 billion - Medical research (NIH) $129 million - Healthcare quality and safety research $356 million - Emergency preparedness and disaster response $1.3 billion - FEMA community disaster preparedness grants $707 million - Cybersecurity protection for critical infrastructure $52 million - Airport and transportation security These cuts jeopardize our lives and well-being. We, the people, do not want a government that gives tax cuts to billionaires while simultaneously spending billions on a war without purpose and millions on recreational golf trips and private jet flights for government officials. Slashing funding for health, education, Medical research, emergency and disaster services, and so many other essential services does not serve the people. Please reject Trump's budget. NO NEW FUNDS for a war without purpose. This inability to peacefully negotiate is making us less safe, while causing pain, destruction and death to people.
