A look at the 66 federal programs Trump wants gone in 2018 budget proposal

The Democrats are warning about the doom and gloom because President Donald Trump wants to make some budget cuts. When the Trump administration requested able-bodied people on food stamps to go to work, the media said the president hates the poor and it is uncouth to ask those on welfare to get a job. It’s amazing what the country has turned into!

What exactly does the president want to cut or eliminate?
