Trump's proposed fy 2018 budget

The key word here is "proposed".  This is a starting point for negotiations with Congress, something Obama never did, negotiate.  I have no doubt that most of the proposed cuts will not actually occur simply because the programs are so intrenched.  Take for instance the Interagency Council on Homelessness, which "coordinates with federal agencies to prevent and end homelessness", it has been in existence for 30 years, how successful has this effort been?  Look around NYC.
