Funds transferred from needy to military

With each new administration, there is a new agenda, a new direction, a new ideal.

This incoming administration is calling for a turnover of $19 billion in drastic reductions on the following: the social services safety net that may affect low-income children and seniors, senior affordable rental units, and children who need nourishment but live in a low-income family unit; the environmental protection for all levels. federal, state, local, gutting the funding for research and development toward a clean energy globe as the temps continue to rise year after year with the worst famine and flooding in global history; the public service of staff/employees, (what is the waiting time in government offices or after an application is process on the computer to be reviewed and screened by the staff?).

The issue echoes in the halls of the U.S. Congress and off the walls of the White House.

What is the goal of the administration?

To transfer any funds toward our defense program, which carries hundreds of billions of dollars already?

Finally, I am thankful to have the opportunity to express these views and opinions because we are a democracy. In many nations, whoever speaks out publicly, off to prison or worse.
