* Updated title - did a little more reading - government grants account for 3% of MOW funding - so it does not kill MOW -

* (doesn't change my mind though - Trump is still a sorry sob)


There will be a lot written today about the popular vote losing buffoon’s newly released budget plan, but let’s take a moment to focus on this one proposal that perfectly encapsulates Trump’s vision for America:

… the complete elimination of the $3 million** Community Development Block Grant program, which funds popular programs like Meals on Wheels, housing assistance and other community assistance efforts.

** article at "The Hill" states it is $3 million (not billion)

1. When's the last time Meals on Wheels

pulled up to Trump Tower? Exactly, it hasn't! Ergo it's not a necessary service.



Trump only cares about the rich. We're going to see it over and over again.

4. What will elderly or disabled people do for a hot meal? I am in a rural Ohio county

MOW serves almost 2000 meals a day.

5. What about rent subsidized appartments? Many of those people will be homeless

or starve with the cuts to HUD. Then there are the cuts to the Dept. of Ag. farmers will go broke. I have never met a farmer that wasn't a die hard Rethug.
