Trump's Budget Is a Horrorshow

The first Republican budget proposal under Trump is not likely to pass, but it shows exactly where Republicans would like to take this country and the world. The Twittersphere sounds off:

PS this is 100% an insane, extreme budget that will never pass or maybe even come to a vote, meant to make the next version seem “moderate."

If Trump had campaigned on cutting Meals on Wheels and kicking people off health insurance, he'd have lost. But he lied and won. #MAGA https://t.co/V0zZiQRNUl

The other message from #NeverHillary lefties was "We can survive it - it's only 4 years." Look at the budget and tell us that now. https://t.co/oop6bO2CQ4

Trump made it clear in campaign he hates honest science and has contempt for arts/humanities. Republican Congress agrees. Big trouble ahead.

If Trump's science budget passes, my advice to bright young scientists is: leave the United States. Your future is brighter elsewhere.
