Quote:This bill:
- Threatens national security by defunding law enforcement, eliminating thousands of federal agent and analyst positions, and cutting resources to protect Americans from harm, including violent crime, espionage, domestic and international terrorism, and other threats.
- Makes families, women, and children less safe by slashing legal services, Violence Against Women Act grants, Juvenile Justice grants, Community Violence Intervention and Prevention grants, hate crime prevention grants, and other resources that prevent violence.
- Hurts the economy and harms hardworking Americans who cannot keep up with the high cost of living by gutting Economic Development Administration (EDA) programs that mainly serve rural communities, as well as International Trade Administration (ITA) programs that promote U.S. exports and fight the unfair trade practices of other countries.
- Continues Republicans’ attacks on America’s scientific and economic competitiveness by cutting billions from science, technology development, STEM education, and aeronautics research of NASA and the National Science Foundation.
- Promotes and increases waste, fraud, and abuse by cutting oversight and investigation funding for numerous agency offices of Inspector General.
Obviously not an unbiased resource, so take with a few shakes of salt. Still, to me, an interesting read.
