Former Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-SC): Current OMB Grim Reaper
First
this note about the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) now run by Former SC Rep. Mick Mulvaney – see more of his astonishing budget remarks below:
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is the largest
office within the Executive Office of the President. Its most-prominent
function is to produce the President's Budget. It also measures the quality of
agency programs, policies, and procedures to see if they comply with the
president's policies and coordinates inter-agency policy initiatives. The director
reports directly to the President, Vice President, and the White House
Chief of Staff – In short: Mulvaney
is a total lackey and water-carrier for Trump by any other name.
The
standard and revealing GOP “conservative” ideological argument is emerging to
help them justify their absolutely brutal cuts to social programs that the Trump
budget now includes.
To put it in simple
lingo what Mulvaney says (see more below): “Americans, come in two types: (1) the
deserving and the (2) undeserving, or more apt (1) the taxpayers, and (2) the
moochers.”
(I Note: Wow, only two kinds of Americans um? – that’s
news to me – how about you.)?
“You
don’t have to worry about the way we’re eviscerating so many programs, because
we’re only going after those people (the undeserving and moochers.) It’s
based on a fundamental lie: that there are taxpayers and then there are people
who use social programs, and the two are not only not the same people, the
groups don’t even overlap.” That is more
about how OMB Director Mulvaney describes this budget. More in his own words
here:
“If I had sort of a subtitle for
this budget, it would be the Taxpayer First Budget. This is I think the first
time in a long time that an administration has written a budget through the
eyes of the people who are actually paying the taxes. So often in Washington I
think we look only on the recipient side: How does the budget affect those who
either receive or don’t receive benefits?…Can I ask somebody, a family in Grand
Rapids, Michigan, to pay tax money to the government so that I can do X?”
The
whole point here is to set “taxpayers” against the supposedly undeserving whose
scams and schemes can be stopped with only indiscriminate cuts to social
programs. Every question Mulvaney gets about a specific cuts, like to Social
Security disability, food stamps (SNAP), or Medicaid, he says in part the same
thing.
“The only people who would suffer are
those who don’t deserve to get benefits in the first place,” adding: “We
are not kicking anybody off of any program who really needs it.”
Two words for you Mr. Mulvaney, please
listen carefully: Büll and Shït…!!!
(I Further Note: I never have thought it was the role of
government to see or have or make any American “suffer” – did you)?
FYI: I am very reluctant to use the word “hate” towards any person… but in Mick
Mulvaney’s case, I will make an exception and say simply: “I hate his frickin’
guts.” Actually I think Mulvaney is rather dumb (seems to be a trait for most Trump appointees), so I honor him with this reminder: Mr. Mulvaney, listen up:
Whew,
there, I feel better already… now please continue the rest of this fine story here from the Washington Post – an excellent
article. I need to cool off.
The
problem with my emotion is simple: I grew up pretty poor but never knew that
poor meant until years later and now more so as I see who thrive on keeping the
poor, or if you like, the most-needy.
That
is those down and out for the sake of more upper crust tax goodies and
political gain for the GOP. All this causes me great concern and it should everyone
else – and, also tell me, Mr. Mulvaney
and Mr. Trump: Are there no poor or needy Republicans in America?
Thanks
for stopping by. And, please tell your Sen. and Rep. what you think about this
budget. I’m sure 140 characters will fit nicely in a message to them…
