Health spending is at a deadly low under the Trump regime. None of this is by accident. It's due to a sinister and deliberate plan called Structural Eugenics.
Corporate media is completely ignoring it. Here are receipts you need to know as Trump tries to kill us: www.qasimrashid.com/p/trump-is-e...

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings.
Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that.

We are witnessing the murder of children by the United States via willful refusal to pay money already promised and owed to keep children alive.
Awful: Delivery of life saving treatment to nearly 400,000 severely malnourished kids abroad is in doubt amid USAID firings, the product's manufacturers tell me.
The treatment is a paste made of peanuts, milk and sugar for kids on edge of starvation.

Tom Friedman: "This is a total perversion of U.S. foreign policy practiced by every president since World War I. My fellow Americans, we are in completely uncharted waters, led by a president, who — well, I cannot believe he is a Russian agent, but he sure plays one on TV."
