Re:Trump budget purposes eliminating ARPA by fishcolorbrick on Monday February 12, 2018 @03:01PM (#16361517)
Page 2 (PDF pg 12) of this document includes detail on how much money would be saved by these changes: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/msar-f...

For example, ARPA's budget would be cut from $305 million per year to $0 per year, saving every US citizen $0.93.

Per the given document, the total reductions and eliminations would save $48,397,000,000 saving US citizens $147.92 per year.

I'm editorializing, but I think that, given the size of the budgets we're talking about, I am getting a good return on my investment, and would rather have these programs than an extra couple hundred bucks.
