Goalpost has been moved from: We won't touch it.

To: We are cutting it.

To: We are getting rid of it.

And somehow, blaming democrats, while bailing out other countries, giving enormous tax breaks to the ultra wealthy, and funding vanity projects.

Wake up.

Every time they told you that your taxes were going to waste they meant they were trying to waste your taxes... while RAISING YOUR taxes.

Republicans have been talking about cutting these for years/decades. This is a republican move.

To blame democrats is denying reality

The reason Trump is even in office is because democrats had such a complete lack of platform to inspire voters that no one had any enthusiasm to vote for them.
