NOAA costs each American taxpayer only ~$3 per year while generating $100 billion in economic value and saving countless lives through accurate weather forecasts and warnings.
This has nothing to do with getting rid of "waste" or "fraud."
This is just mindless destruction for the sake of it.

NOAA Said to Be Planning to Shrink Staff by 20 Percent

Donald Trump wants to give big corporations tax cuts — supposedly to incentivize them to do research.
Here’s the catch: these companies already did that research years ago. So these tax giveaways are exactly that — giveaways.
Billionaires win, families lose.

Billionaires like Jeff Bezos shouldn’t pay a lower tax rate than a Boston public school teacher.
The wealthiest and most powerful people in this country should be paying their fair share — not getting tax breaks from Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress.

MUST-WATCH: House GOP leadership refused to allow Rep. Brittany Peterson, who's on maternity leave, to vote remotely, but that didn't stop her.
She showed up, not only voted but also spoke out against the GOP budget proposal with Sam, who turned 1 month old today, in her hands.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21 billion to people who were cheated by big banks and credit card companies.
So why are Trump and Musk gutting an agency that's returning money to people who were scammed?
For them, this has never been about cutting costs.
