Mulvaney defends Trump budget's social safety net cuts

[gratuitous]

2. Tell us, Mr. Mulvaney

Who are the these "folks" you speak of "who are actually paying for" the federal budget? As we all know, President Trump isn't paying anything to support the federal budget, and his wealthy pals aren't, either. They are very good at sucking up government resources without paying for them. Meanwhile, working Americans are paying for the federal budget and taking care of their non-working and disabled relatives without much help from government spending. Schoolchildren and their teachers are tasked with doing more and more while provided with less and less resources. School buildings are falling apart, roads are in a terrible state of disrepair, and everyone is having to tighten their belts another notch so that you can shovel another load of billions of dollars into the overstuffed pockets of large corporations and wealthy Americans, who in turn offshore that wealth to avoid supporting the country and the system that has made them so wealthy.

I don't want to alarm you or make you think I'm threatening you, Mr. Mulvaney, but history shows that this sort of kleptocracy isn't sustainable and usually ends very badly for the high-riding thieves. Proceed with caution, sir.
