This asshole Mick Mulvaney is actually saying that Meals on Wheels and school programs that feed poor children DO NOT WORK" -- this is why "we are not using tax money for these things anymore" I can't believe these assholes. But there is $$$ for the asshole's border wall.

(9,527 posts)Likewise people who have debilitating issues who use Meals on Wheels won't have the motivation to suck it up and get better if people bring them food. Teach a man to fish and all.
We certainly don't want to suck the soul out of them, as per Ryan, by feeding them.

Hungry old folks don't matter as much as money.
Starving people in impoverished countries aren't worth the money.
Never once does this monster mention the people, the real life human beings, that will be hurt. He's onlt focus in money.

This. This, people, is who we are up against. They have no soul.

(5,810 posts)is mind boggling. I do not believe in hell but at times like this, I wish I did. These cruel, vicious people would have a special wing on the "lake of fire" just for them!! 🔥🔥🔥. Hellfire and brimstone....not just for tent revivals anymore!

(5,611 posts)EASILY the biggest asshole I have ever seen at a White House presser -- callously dismissing programs that feed the poor, medical research, etc -- this budget is beyond Paul Ryan's wildest Ayn Rand-Ian fantasies.
peggysue2
(10,819 posts)I've delivered Meals on Wheels. Mick Mulveney needs to see some of the people who receive these meals, most of whom are elderly, disabled, housebound. To take needed nourishment from those who desperately need it or to suggest that poor kids aren't worth the investment of a free lunch program is about as callous, not to mention short-sighted, as it gets.
Do these people ever listen to themselves??? And then, they have the gall to call themselves Christian.
Disgusting.
