Trump Signs Budget

On Thursday, February 8th, 2018, The New York Times published an article titled” Trump Signs Budget Deal to Raise Spending and Reopen Government”. The article’s main topic is how Trump signed a major budget deal early Friday morning. The bill, which many people were against had been up for debate for many months now. This article, in my opinion, is definitely worth the read, as a citizen you should be aware of the different bills our president is signing, and how it can affect our country. One of the main things that really stood out to me was that in September 2019 Trump will get the huge increase in military spending, but what other programs would he be cutting? Some programs that the article mentioned were the environmental protection program as well as the health research program, how would cutting this programs affect us? How can increasing military spending help us? Not to mention he is also planning to get rid of DACA which allows MANY, MANY immigrants to receive a good future, and help America in different ways. That’s why I strongly advice for this article to be read so we as a whole know exactly what is going on with the government, and our country's future.
