MN-SEN: Potential Minnesota GOP Senate candidate 'really appreciates' Trump gutting services

During an interview last month, Minnesota state Sen. Julia Coleman (R-Waconia) praised the Trump administration’s federal spending cuts, which have deprived communities of vital funding for things like domestic violence prevention and early childhood education.

Coleman made the comments during an April 1 appearance on the “Al Travis Show,” a conservative radio program in Blue Earth, Minn. Coleman said as time goes on, she is appreciating the administration’s slashing even more.

“The longer I serve, and the longer I see fiscal notes, the rate at which the agencies want to grow, and take on new rulemaking, and get more funding and keep these programs going, the more I’m appreciating what’s going on in D.C. with them slashing and cutting,” Coleman said.

Sewer system upkeep, cancer research and food banks are just a few areas where cuts have disrupted operations, with more cuts to benefits programs being proposed by President Donald Trump and his allies. Trump has also expressed interest in completely eliminating Head Start and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which provide early childhood programs and disaster relief, respectively.

...these people are just asking for it.

Piling additional stress and strain onto what we are already facing is objectively evil. And they just can't seem to help themselves.

At some point, there will be a reckoning, and I'm pretty sure these idiots won't like it.
