Trump proposal to streamline jobs program funding would cut funding to states
Representative Walberg stated that his committee's workforce modernization bill aligns with the President's goals but maintains a separate legislative structure.
President Trump's budget proposal seeks to consolidate 12 federal job training programs into a $3.4 billion block grant called "Make America Skilled Again" (MASA), representing a $1.25 billion funding cut. Critics warn the move will reduce support for vulnerable populations while supporters emphasize flexibility and efficiency.
