It will cost MORE to pay to make things right again (environment), plus paying off the debt that the Pugs are adding on!

He's found a new way to plunder it.

This bill spells RECESSION. Government cuts are reductions in spending. The Rich pocket their tax cut or buy another yacht or a sixth vacation home.

Not only that, the masses will reduce spending to try to gain some clarity and solvency in their financial future.

Convervatism, the stock market, the economy --- this IS the BLOW OFF TOP.

Hunker down. There's a hard blizzard coming.

So much for hurricane tracking, and dozens of other life saving functions they oversee....

noaa also manages federal fisheries, all coastal fishing permits and regulations. guess there no bag limits or species restrictions for the draggers or anyone else next year.

than global warming science. Sure, that's a big piece, but they also offer free weather forecasting for both aviation and boating, they monitor winds and currents, they set and enforce fisheries regulations, they monitor hurricanes and sever weather (think no tornado tracking during severe weather), and lots of other stuff.

noaa is one of the most critical branches of govt to safety in real time, and science across the board.

I know why they want to eliminate it, but damn, you might as well disband the navy because you don't like their uniforms (they are pretty ugly though).

rip monitoring and forecasting out of the USG. I first became aware of their efforts about 1985. It finally bought a piece of legislation to get NOAA broken up and sold off.

It's like taking your grandmother's china that has been in the family for generations and giving it to your kids to play with in the sand box. (and I say that as someone who lost many a dish and spoon to the sand box).

America is going to be no longer.

We need another revolution.

Trump and the present virulent anti American republican party are an even higher magnitude of evil than those bastards were!

This country will NEVER recover from Trump unless the democratic party seizes control of both the House, the Senate and the white house and passes a massive recovery/social welfare program on the level of FDR and LBJ....MINIMUM!

Truthfully it needs to go far beyond that if this country is ever again going to be worth a damn to the average working American.

In 92 I had a NEH grant for 2 months summer study. (Grant was for teachers at colleges with no grad program in their field.) I think that program was eliminated some time ago.
