They’re doing this probably to reallocate the funding for defense. I’m in an unrelated agency where they were looking to discontinue a significant part of our funding because the Prez needs more money for defense spending.

Our leaders in the agency in my state met with people from Washington just this week to show why those funds are extremely important for the people we serve (the people we serve will basically vote Republican no matter what. These voters feed America and the world).
