It's not law yet

Indeed, it is a budget proposal and appropriations are regulated by the legislative branch.

Good thing Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell have a long, storied history of fighting to protect our social safety net, then.

Well, they are also politicians who are desperate to hold on to their power. They may actually realize how many millions of Americans (including their own constituents) would be directly impacted by such a proposal. They make decisions based on political capital, not necessary human capital.

That is to say there is some chance this will not be passed in its current state, as Congress has already made changes to Trump's budget proposals. Time will tell.
