The federal gov. needs to take care of the things listed in the Constitution as federal duties and only those things. Everything else should be taken care of by the states or the people.

Trump has made many promises, which he never kept. Trump has made many predictions, very few have come to fruition. D'ye really believe he won't break his word to not cut S/S?

More anonymous sources. Just like the one that said social security funding would be cut. But it was fully funded.

We need to cut costs.


I mean this seriously... why?

Did our individual taxes go down when we had a lower national debt?

Shameful. It really puts people in a bind. Without Head Start, some little children do not have a safe place to go during the day while their parents work, and people cannot make it on one income these days.


The people who are pronatalist and don't understand why people are not having big families must all be rich. I know so many people who would love or who would have loved having more kids, but it is way unaffordable.

The Trump administration is considering a budget proposal that would zero out funding for Head Start, a program created during Lyndon B. Johnson's "war on poverty" that offers child care and preschool education to low-income families, according to an official familiar with the plan.

The official, who was not authorized to discuss the plan publicly, said the White House's fiscal year 2026 funding blueprint does not allocate any money toward Head Start and lists it among many programs to be eliminated.

Also on the chopping block is the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which helps struggling households pay for heating and cooling, the official said.

...

The National Head Start Association warned on Friday that the administration's proposal to eliminate the program's funding would be "catastrophic." More than 1 million parents who rely on the program wouldn't be able to go to work, said Yasmina Vinci, the group's executive director.

Meals, developmental screenings and health care for nearly 800,000 children would disappear, she said.

"We urge every parent, every American, and every believer in the American dream to reach out to their elected officials to express their outrage about such a proposal," Vinci said.

The decision represents the latest proposal from Project 2025, a conservative policy blueprint, to emerge from the Trump administration. The president appointed Russell Vought, a key architect of Project 2025, to lead the budget office, which is now pushing to cut Head Start in Trump's new budget plan.
