Trump Just Announced Plan To End ‘Meals On Wheels’ For Seniors
 
Throughout his campaign for president and since his election, Donald Trump has promised to reduce the size of government, cut taxes, eliminate regulations and slash numerous social programs, even as he boosts defense spending by billions.

One popular program facing elimination is “Meals On Wheels,” which uses federal funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to mobilize volunteers, businesses and donors to provide nutrition to thousands of senior citizens on a daily basis. It supports over 5,000 community-based organizations across America, reaching people in both urban and rural areas.

The money for Meals On Wheels is part of the Older American Act, first passed in 1965 as part of LBJ’s Great Society, and endorsed by every president until Trump. The total cost, which includes other programs, is about $2 billion a year, which is less than the government hands out in fossil fuel subsidies every year. Meals On Wheels costs about $3 million a year, which is the cost of one trip to his winter White House.

He sure seems to be trying to alienate seniors.

Inaccurate plagiarism! Unless that is you, Moji Boris?

Donald Trump just announced plan to end ‘Meals On Wheels’ for seniors – MOJI BORIS

Surprised Rockface and the (unt were not all over your a$$ for not including the link - NOT. They could care less what you do or say, as long as it is "negative Trump"!

You should probably stick to just stealing the silly images Boy!

Gov't grants provide less than 4% of Meals On Wheels funding. Charity Report - Meals on Wheels Association of America - give.org

Hardly worth worrying about me thinks.

More libtard fake news to smear Trump. You would think that by the way they insist he is Satan himself, that they would not need to make up lies.

While I do believe Snopes in that Meals On Wheels does not derive its primary funding from the feds, your statement about whom actually 'feasts on false news'...is frigging hilarious. :1rotfl:

Made all the more humorous, by ignorant and hypocritical Trump cultists like yourself, who have no problem with the blatant lies constantly being put out by the most powerful person in the world and who is so totally divorced from the truth and reality...that his actual sanity has to be questioned. :oops:

Wrong, I don't insist he's satan, he is. Make up lies, you need to look in the mirror.

You are actually correct in one respect.

Chump, in less than two months as POTUS, has put forth so many blatant, serious lies...that this is but a small issue. :ohdear:

When your own elected party members are shaking their heads at the pure idiocy of the POTUS' false proclamations...you really should get a clue. :oops:

But hey, I understand that won't happen with Trump's cultists, even as the rest of the civilized world's leaders...are questioning if they can believe anything that this White House says.

It's Satan with a capital letter. Get it right, dummy. And if you libtards don't believe in GOD, then why would you believe there is a Satan? Did I confuse you? Think about it, but don't work too hard on it. I would not wish you to have a brain aneurysm. :22yikes:
