Biden Team Attacks Trump

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump’s new budget proposal is being praised by fiscal conservatives as a bold step to rein in bloated health bureaucracy and eliminate liberal pet projects draining taxpayer dollars. Former HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, however, is attacking the plan, calling it a “demolition” of public health. But for millions of Americans tired of runaway spending and woke agendas, this budget is a much-needed course correction.

Cutting Waste, Not Care

The budget reduces discretionary spending for the Department of Health and Human Services by $33.3 billion—an aggressive 26.2% cut. Highlights include:

• $18 billion slashed from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
• $3.6 billion removed from the CDC
• $674 million trimmed from Medicare/Medicaid administrative bloat

Trump’s administration says these cuts target programs that have been “co-opted by radical ideology and unaccountable spending,” not the essential services seniors and working families depend on.

End of Woke Health Programs?

In a move sure to spark debate, the Trump White House singled out programs promoting diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) and radical gender ideology as wasteful and unscientific. These initiatives are on the chopping block.

“The federal government should not be funding fringe ideology disguised as healthcare,” said one White House official.

RFK Jr.-Led Wellness Plan Gets Major Boost

Not all health initiatives are facing the axe. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., current HHS Secretary, is receiving $500 million to fund the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission—a wellness-based plan focused on nutrition, early prevention, and drug transparency.

This signals a shift from big-pharma dependence to grassroots American health values.

Becerra Complains, But Conservatives Applaud

Xavier Becerra, who recently launched his bid for California governor, slammed the cuts on social media. “This isn’t a budget – it’s a demolition plan,” he posted on X.

Critics see his response as political posturing from someone with deep ties to government expansion. But grassroots conservatives are cheering Trump for doing what Washington politicians have failed to do for decades: cut the fat and restore sanity.

The Numbers Tell the Story

• Biden’s final HHS budget (2025): $127 billion
• Trump’s 2026 proposed HHS budget: $93.8 billion
  That’s over $30 billion in taxpayer savings—a win for fiscal responsibility and a blow to entrenched special interests.

Some GOP Pushback, But Reform Momentum Grows

Moderate Republicans like Sen. Susan Collins expressed concern about specific program cuts, such as the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. Still, momentum for real reform remains strong among the party’s conservative base.

Conclusion: A Budget That Reflects American Priorities

Trump’s proposal isn’t just a budget—it’s a signal that under his leadership, Washington is finally being held accountable. The days of reckless spending on progressive experiments may finally be coming to an end.
