WHAT THE NEW 2015 HOUSE BUDGET PROPOSAL HAS IN STORE FOR US
The 2015 House budget proposal released April 1 by Rep, Paul Ryan cuts $5.1 trillion over ten years, including $700 billion in interest savings. This is more than $4.7 trillion in cuts from 2014, The proposal also includes an 11 percent cut to the International Affairs budget. This would render food aid and other humanitarian and poverty focused development assistance programs less effective and would undermine out ability to combat hunger and poverty in the poorest countries.
I don't think not even one percent of our nation's population has ever seen 5.1 trillion dollars all at once. If I ever had the chance I know that I would go crazy. If you do the math 5.1 trillion in tens is about 1.5 million dollars per each American that will be used for other unnecessary funds. In total it is about 150 billion dollars that are going to go to our military defense programs. Our nation rather leave us hungry and weary than actually make sure that we are really secure. The greatest security that every human being in the world can all relate to or desire is the food security.
Does it make sense to increase our military budgets each year by trillions, when there aren't really huge international problems facing America. Rather inside the homeland is a growing epidemic that is growing everyday as millions of individuals are losing their jobs, homes, and feeling the effects of not having sufficient food assistance programs available. Our nation as the world's most POWERFUL country is demonstrating ignorance and neglecting the obvious hardships that continue to impact citizens since the Great Depression.
Ask yourself, will our legislation's political actions and budgeting this year make us, the people, their greatest enemies. Will this budget proposal cause food fighters or anti-hunger activist to arise from the shadows of under reported news to defend what they strongly believe in? Only time will tell when more than 50 % of our nation's population will go food insecure like many other third world countries.

Seems like the lower class is being gradually cut off by the government, without much warning. I've read about politicians claiming that people are taking advantage of the government through these services.Thinking about the death that could result from these budget cuts is unsettling.
