I was going to try to highlight the callousness of the currently proposed budget by quoting the Budget Director when he said

Or fund the EPA as part of a “War on Climate Change” since they keep funding the military billions more then the military itself asks for?
I could picture no. 45 touring the Navy’s newest “warship” and commenting, “It’s funny, but this aircraft carrier looks different than the last one I toured…almost like a research vessel…”
