Imagine that, social security and medicaid untouched.  Wow!  Those massive programs must have been tempting to cut, but Trump saw the needs of the people outweighing his drive to balance the budget.  It is interesting that the editorial does not mention whether the cuts suggested provide for a balanced budget.  Clearly that is not even of concern to certain groups.  I would not personally have increased defense, but the rest of the cuts seem reasonable to me.  Those who want to fight climate change can do so.  If a group locals wanted to form a solar energy company and install wind/photovoltaic we could.  Each interested party could contribute what they can for a proportionate ownership of the endeavor even getting a meager return on investment through sale of power.  (Return not competitive with other investments, but this is about fighting climate change not just making money.)  Who's in?
