FAKE NEWS: Did Trump Just Kill Meals On Wheels? Not Even Close.

“The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well-targeted to the poorest populations and has not demonstrated results.”

Nick Gillespie of Reason explains:

The money often is not going to Meals on Wheels or even to the neediest communities.

As a Reason Foundation analysis also from 2013 shows, wealthier communities get the larger chunks of the money, particularly counties that—what a coincidence!—are in proximity to Washington, D.C…


.Check out this audit from Riverside County, California, for their CDBG expenditures for 2016, and there's neither a meal nor a wheel to be found.


Of the $761,744 the county received, nearly all of it went to improve a playground and the sidewalks of a single local elementary school.

And note that the reason they were audited by Housing and Urban Development was because they hadn't provided proper documentation of their expenses.

-------

Walter Olson of the Cato Institute explains that 35 percent of federal funding for Meals on Wheels comes from the Older Americans Act, not the CDBG; no cuts have been contemplated to that program yet.

So, Trump isn’t killing Meals on Wheels. But the damaging media coverage has many Republicans cowering in fear. As usual.

The issue is not that the monies should not be allocated and spent.

The issue then is the monies need to be spent more wisely.

Anyone who thinks this has do with socialism cannot define socialism and is an idiot.

Why is money budgeted to help feed the elderly being spent on a playground and sidewalks at a school?

Trump’s Budget Would Kill a Program That Feeds 2.4 Million Senior Citizens

Trump’s Budget Would Kill a Program That Feeds 2.4 Million Senior Citizens

President Donald Trump's 2018 budget plan would end a program that provides funding for Meals on Wheels.

A proposal of the Trump budget, released Thursday morning, calls for the complete elimination of the Community Development Block Grant program, which operates under the Department of Housing and Urban Development and covers Meals on Wheels. The budget plan estimates that cutting the program would save the government $3 billion.

"The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well-targeted to the poorest populations and has not demonstrated results," the draft of the budget says.

A representative for Meals on Wheels said not enough details were provided to discern how this budget would impact the program, but that "it is difficult to imagine a scenario in which they will not be significantly and negatively impacted."

So, we starve Americans so we can more effectively kill foreigners. Do we need to spend that kind of money when our primary enemy at present are a bunch of rag tag religious idiots in a foreign desert?

Now we know this isn't true.

If you starve Americans its because you gave it to illegals and refugees .....your concern rings hollow

Meals on Wheels is clearly a communist plot to undermine our freedoms.

OK, you are real dumb. The block grants paid for many things, and are a large part of the funds for Meals on Wheels. And all the other things that were funded by those block grants are going to go away. And many of the orange clown's base are going to find that they were the beneficiaries of those grants. Going to be just like the ACA, suddenly the bozo's that voted for the clown realize that they will have zero coverage if TrumpCare is voted in.

Yep, spend taxpayer money on something the right doesn't like? Socialism! Communism! Spend it their way(even if it is socialistic)=UberPatriot.

Idiot. Most of those illegals make money harvesting our crops. Now really, what we should do is require all those people that cannot find work because they have no skills, replace those illegals in harvesting the crops. Now the illegals manage to move around harvesting the crops so that should not be a problem for our unemployed. See, then we would not have to support those people in the red states that cannot find work.

Why is money budgeted to help feed the elderly being spent on a playground and sidewalks at a school?

Maybe because that county doesn't have any elderly but does consist of lots of families and kids?
