My outrage is way too much to fit here.
Let me give you one example and then just one more.
The president and his administration eliminated foreign aid (USAID) to starving children, estimated by experts to cause 2 million dead by year’s end due to starvation.
Halting our country’s successful soft diplomacy programs is estimated to result in many times these starvation deaths by stopping vaccines and health epidemics gone wild.
Trump continues to cut all kinds of key federal programs.
Here is an example: Back in 1991, the National Institutes of Health began the Women’s Health Initiative, called the largest women’s health initiative in the world. The purpose was to research cancer, heart disease and osteoporosis.
Estimates are that this research prevented 126,000 cases of breast cancer, 76,000 cases of heart disease over the next decade, which saved $35 billion in direct medical costs, not to mention people’s lives.
Trump is cutting funding worth $10 million to the National Institutes of Health, which is less than what taxpayers spent on his golf trips during the first 93 days of his term.
If you, too, are not outraged, you are simply not paying attention.
Who voted for this?
