"Meals on Wheels sounds great but doesn't deliver" -- live quote from WH presser

[anneboleyn]

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.

[Freethinker65]

1. Wow

Not even a head fake to repeal and replace with something phenomenally better and costing less. They really have no shame.

[KeepItReal]

2. He said the same about After-school programs. BASTARD!

These people know no shame.

[pkdu]

3. I'm am watching this asshole and i cant believe the hubris. nt

[anneboleyn]

6. This asshole is truly UNBELIEVABLE. Meals on Wheels DOESNT DELIVER?! School programs

that feed poor children don't demonstrate any effect?! These things are all "wastes of YOUR $$$"

[MoonRiver]

4. He implied there is no evidence that having food helps kids learn!!!!!

[Me.]

5. There Is No Evidence

That feeding hungry children helps them learn better

[mythology]

18. Obviously if they are well fed, they won't be hungry to learn

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.

[Me.]

20. Besides

We certainly don't want to suck the soul out of them, as per Ryan, by feeding them.

[IcyPeas]

7. "climate change is a waste of money" mulhaney

[procon]

8. It's all about the money.

Hungry school aren't as important as the money.
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.

10. Military, wall, rich folks, check.

12. meanwhile our biggest welfare waste program - the military - gets billions more nt

[Qutzupalotl]

13. That is literally exactly what they do. n/t

[Peacetrain]

14. Meals on Wheels kept my mother in her own home for years

She is now in assisted living.. but if it had not been for meals on wheels.. I do not know what we would have done.. It was a life saver..

[Johonny]

15. The delivery thing is part of the "charity" that GOP used to beleive in, now they can't even fake it

[rickford66]

16. I did MOW for a few years

Several times our visits were just in time to help in an emergency. For many shut-ins, we were their only visitors for days.

[hamsterjill]

17. The arrogance is astounding!

They really don't care whether people die. They do not care one iota.

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

[Wounded Bear]

19. I guess the profit margin is too small...

[Grammy23]

21. The coldness and indifference to human suffering by these awful people

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!

[anneboleyn]

22. I feel the same way. Mulvaney makes Paul Ryan look positively charitable. That Mulvaney guy is

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]

23. Meals on Wheels

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.
