Don’t put Vought in charge of the OMB.

From the NYT. So am sure you think it is propaganda. How would Vought cut federal spending? In December 2022, under Vought’s direction, the Center for Renewing America produced a comprehensive budget proposal, “A Commitment to End Woke and Weaponized Government.” The proposal called for enormous cuts in domestic spending, particularly in programs for the poor. A sampling of the size of Vought’s spending cuts in the first year of reductions: Head Start, $5.4 billion; Low Income Energy Assistance, $3.7 billion; the Department of Housing and Urban Development, $25.8 billion, including $12.8 billion for Tenant-Based Rental Assistance vouchers, better known as Section 8. Long-term reforms in the center’s budget proposal would cut Medicaid by $1.1 trillion and Medicare by $766 billion over 10 years. Is this really what you want. A war on the poor? Confirming Vought would certainly make it seem so. I can’t imagine that his dark desires are remotely Christian, but in this day and age I am not surprised that someone with his delusional mindset would want to make poor and less fortunate suffer more than they do in our system of economic inequality.
