Pathological liar Trump lied when he said he wouldn’t cut these programs. He also lied about getting rid of the deficit. Why believe anything he says?
Why do people think he keeps his promises? #SummaCumLiar https://t.co/vUpGtIdJkd

Trump finally submitted a budget (a month late). Let's take a look, shall we?
— Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) March 11, 2019
$8 billion for a wall Congress rejected.
$840 billion in cuts to Medicare.
Trillion dollar deficits for the next four years.
You know what, Mr. President, keep your budget. We’ll take it from here.

Remember when Trump said he wouldn’t cut Medicare and Medicaid? Well he broke that promise. He’d rather give Lockheed and the Saudis money for missiles. https://t.co/1uiwjdYLXr

Did you know @realDonaldTrump wants to cut Social Security by at least $25 billion?
— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) March 12, 2019
Also, he proposes massive cuts to Medicare of hundreds of billions.
If you or a loved one depend on Social Security & Medicare, you vote for Trump in 2020 at your peril. He is NOT #ForThePeople. https://t.co/jbHzvjdXVO
A budget is about more than numbers – a budget is about values. And the budget @realDonaldTrump released today is another big wet kiss to the super-rich & giant corporations, and it guts programs for everyone else.

The #TrumpBudget cuts $845 BILLION from Medicare.
— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) March 12, 2019
Remember when President @realDonaldTrump promised the American people he would not cut it at all?

Trump's budget:

– Slashes funding for education by $7 billion
– Eliminates subsidized student debt
– Public service loan forgiveness

For many children, school lunch is the only meal they eat all day. Trump’s budget would cut $1.7 billion from child nutrition and eliminate food assistance for millions—literally taking food out of kids’ mouths.

This is not humane. This budget isn’t humane. He is not humane.
The president made a pride point of not proposing Medicare and SS cuts during the campaign. His budget proposes cuts – but will that matter less to his voters when juxtaposed against his rivals? https://t.co/p9iELNVaOS

UPDATE: Trump's new budget would cut:

Buried in the 2020 budget docs: a proposal to raise half-billion $ a year in "deficit reduction" by hiking immigration filing fees 10 percent.
And unlike most of the budget, hiking fees is something Trump can do without Congress.https://t.co/0XvIOIRask
