>Who in the right mind would propose cutting EPA budget?

Once set, the EPA budget is untouchable? That seems like a terrible way to run government. I'm not for or against the budget cut, but I don't think anything should be off-limits.

>do not support Trump

You don't say....

>If one day voters are given a secure voting application they can vote on all issues, it will be great.

I think you'd be surprised for how many people "internet privacy" is completely and utterly irrelevant to their daily struggles.

I never say it is untouchable, but 31% is a lot. Perhaps they need to convince me their cutting will yield to better spending. But we know why the budget is cut - the head of EPA doesn't believe in EPA, Trump doesn't want EPA either.

It isn't just the internet privacy, but everything else.

>I never say it is untouchable

No, but you did say "Who in the right mind would propose cutting EPA budget". I would think about it, as I hope my elected officials would.

>but 31% is a lot. Perhaps they need to convince me their cutting will yield to better spending

This is fair.
