The House budget ultimately plans for trillions of dollars in mandatory spending cuts, but in the near term, it calls upon 11 committees to cut $203 billion altogether over a decade. So, for example, the Committee on Education and the Workforce will have to cut $20 billion over the next decade. And the Ways and Means Committee, which has jurisdiction over a variety of spending programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, would cut $52 billion over the next decade.




Billions cut for the safety net while they spend more on the military.


But as long as we can INCREASE military spending why worry about helping those in the most need or education, right?


That's the kind of stuff that has Paul Ryan stocking up on kleenex and lotion.
