Trumps Budget Cuts, Impact Working Class Americans

from Black Politics Today · host Black Politics Today

The Trump budget proposal, just like the last, takes a direct aim at the domestic programs and policies that have a direct effect on the elderly, the sick, and people of color. This budget seeks to bankrupt working class Americans both black and white. It has no syncical theme for logic when it calls for a $750B increases military spending for a war that in December was declared a victory; and where other military spending is going to regions in which we have announced a withdrawal of troops.  Adding to the unrealisticness of the proposal, this budget also cuts domestic programs by $2.7T which is a direct hit on the working middle class in this country. No real leader would ever put his people in harms way when they could actually undergird them like we always do our military, and support their growth and recovery rather than only looking to corporations who return nothing to the American people.   Tonight we weigh in on the drastic budget cuts, the white supremacy, the Manafort sentencing which piles on more white privilege and the glaring difference in American between whites and blacks; from education to sentencing to even the White House. The utter capitulation in this country.   My guest are Fmr Ambassador Koby Koomson, Ghana, Rebekah Caruthers, Rev. Ralph Chittams, Greg Stewart, and Rev. Marquez Ball, along with Prof. Elwood Watson, and Robert Pope.
