For over two years, Smart Dissent's Budget Cuts Series has exposed Trump's proposed budget cuts, finding savage proposals hidden beneath the surface.  The Trump White House proposed their third budget in mid-March 2019 and we're wrapping up our Series by posting exclusively about it this week.

In today's Budget Cut Series we're talking about Social Security.  These sorts of cuts make us wonder why ANYONE votes for Republicans.

The Trump administration is preparing to shutter all international offices of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, a move that could slow the processing of family visa applications, foreign adoptions and citizenship petitions from members of the military stationed abroad....  the agency would move to close its international field offices in coming months....

For over two years, Smart Dissent's Budget Cuts Series has exposed Trump's proposed budget cuts, finding savage proposals hidden beneath the surface.  The Trump White House proposed their third budget in mid-March 2019 but it's been insanely hectic since then so our Series has a lot to catch up on during April and May 2019.

In today's Budget Cut Series, Trump's budget would eliminate the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program.  You've probably never heard of TANF.  Neither had we.
