Caltrops - Balance of Power





	[quote name="Vested Id"][quote name=""Have you no class?""][quote name="Vested Id"]So keep the rage on the burner I guess. I care less about the vulnerable than I do about fake news, which helps Trump enormously: Reported: Trump is killing Meals On Wheels! Truth: We would like to defund Community Development Block Grants, which pays enough into Meals On Wheels to use it as a Big Bird shield.[/quote] [quote name="White House budget director Mick Mulvaney"]We can’t spend money on programs just because they sound good. And Meals on Wheels sounds great — again, that’s a state decision to fund that particular portion to. But to take the federal money and give it to the states and say, look, we want to give you money for programs that don’t work — I can’t defend that anymore. We cannot defend that anymore. We’re $20 trillion in debt. We’re going to spend money, we’re going to spend a lot of money, but we’re not going to spend it on programs that cannot show that they actually deliver the promises that we’ve made to people.”[/quote] So you're right, it's not precise to say Meals on Wheels is having federal funding cut off, we should instead say that Meals on Wheels and other Community Development programs are having their federal funding cut off, and this is the full intention of the Trump budget. Jesus Fucking Christ what a dumb hair to split. [/quote] Are CDBGs pork or not, answer: depends on who is cutting them. How much of Meals on Wheels do they fund, oh my god retard stop splitting hairs. I don't think you can even blame them for cutting PBS, the NEA etc., those have been on the Republican chopping block for nearly 40 years now. The NEA has helped ruin American art culture and PBS is providing broadcasting in a packet-switched world. Fabio was more on-point to be morally disgusted that any money is being taken away from domestic programs to fund stuff one might regard as reactionary bullshit. And you left out of your quote the part where I more or less say what you're saying.[/quote]
