Earthjustice: Trump’s Dirty Budget Writes Assault on Environmental Safeguards into Law
Proposal would hand billions of dollars more for president’s hateful border wall and strip funding for environmental enforcement
The Trump administration released its FY 2020 budget proposal, a document littered with giveaways to the super-wealthy and big polluter interests.
President Trump’s dirty budget includes over $8 billion more in funding for the hateful, unnecessary wall the administration is currently employing unconstitutional means to build. The proposal also contains a 31% cut to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, even at a time when EPA penalties for corporate polluters are down by over 90%. Virtually every key agency tasked with safeguarding public health and the environment faces reductions under the proposal.
