Trump's immoral budget

Trump's immoral budget

by Michael Sean Winters

Yet, a government's budget is a profoundly moral document, containing as it must the priorities being put forward on behalf of we the people, evidencing the values we are trying to advance and what common efforts we think are worth funding.

The Trump administration's budget proposal is profoundly immoral.
