[ColdNoMore]

Knowledge starts with a complete understanding...of the actual definition of a word.

Definition of "defunding." (Click Here)

defund [ dee-fuhnd ]
verb (used with object)

-to withdraw financial support from, especially as an instrument of legislative control: Many university programs were defunded by the recent government cutbacks.

-to deplete the financial resources of: The cost of the lawsuit defunded the company's operating budget.

Note that none of the examples states..."completely removing ALL financial support."




Versus the definition of..."unfunded."

UNFUNDED (Poke Here)

unfunded

Hopefully, that makes things clearer...for some folks.
