Few voters likely expected President Trump in the first weeks of his administration to slash billions of dollars from the nation's premier federal cancer research agency.

But funding cuts to the NIH were presaged in Project 2025's "Mandate for Leadership opens in a new tab or window," a conservative plan for governing that Trump said he knew nothing about during his campaign. Now, his administration has embraced it.

The 922-page playbook compiled by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative research group in Washington, says "the NIH monopoly on directing research should be broken" and calls for capping payments to universities and their hospitals to "help reduce federal taxpayer subsidization of leftist agendas."

Great. Slash the waste. 

Typical fascist agenda. Remember how sleazeball Trump lied and said he had nothing to do with Project 2025 and I also remember some of the magas here saying they actually believed him!

Stopping wars and cutting waste is fascist? 

 

You lefties have lost all sense of meaning.

 

 

I don't know all the policies in there, but this one I agree with:

 

Children are being influenced to transition and they're too young to understand what they're doing and need Big Govt to protect them for their own good. That's exactly what this is doing - PROTECTING children. 

Nice job, Don!

Trump also signed an executive order rolling back transgender rights by banning federal funds for transition-related care for people under age 19. An order he signed also directed the federal government to recognize only two sexes, male and female, and use the term “sex” instead of “gender.”

The Project 2025 document calls for deleting the term “gender identity” from federal rules, regulations, and grants and for unwinding policies and procedures that its authors say are used to advance a “radical redefinition of sex.” In addition, it states that Department of Health and Human Services programs should “protect children’s minds and bodies.”

He's going to screw much of his own base.

Obviously not. Deporting illegals is what most countries do. Ask an adult.

Yeah, the dog is always barking at the postman, too.

Walks like a postman, delivers mail like a postman, probably is the postman the dog is barking at. 😜

 

Changing the subject by attacking the messenger because you don't like the observation.

 

Yes, I see.

The savings being sought are unachievable without massive cuts to medical care, social security and other social provision. Many of the most vulnerable people are in Republican constituencies. The Republican party are going to have to wake up to the fact that they "own" these cuts.

They won't care if they succeed in preventing real elections.

 See Hungary. See Russia. 

These are lawless fascists.

They have no interest in the constitution. 

They just want total power.

Not for the people.
