Still more of hiring "the best"
And who lied first? Will the budget allow for the Special Olympics - or not?
Betsy says yes, then no, and who the hell knows what IQ45 has been doing!
From the Washington Post:
DeVos released a statement last night insisting that she was against the Special Olympics cuts all along, and her staff blamed the Office of Management and Budget for including the proposal. This is funding I have fought for behind the scenes over the last several years, she said. I am pleased and grateful the president and I see eye to eye on this issue, and that hes decided to fund our Special Olympics grant.
Even by Washington standards, this took chutzpah. During testimony earlier in the day before a Senate appropriations panel, DeVos defended the cuts as necessary and argued that private donors like her she married into the billionaire Amway fortune would step up to fill the gap. Then she took umbrage at Democratic criticism. I hope all of this debate encourages lots of private contributions to Special Olympics, she told Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.). So lets not use disabled children in a twisted way for your political narrative. That is just disgusting, and its shameful.
