No more meals on wheels - thank you Mr. President

[rightwinger]

Just keep on calling us derogatory names, it will continue to energize us to beat your ass.

In a word - "uncertainty" - here's what Delaney said

All federal agencies released exactly what spending was on hold.

If they don’t know, their organization is run by idiots. Or, they are lying.

It’s all fear mongering.

Can you show us that the Meals on Wheels program has been shut down?

No, you can’t, because it hasn’t happened.

 

[TemplarKormac]

That is funny considering Trump just stop the funding last night.

Funny, I thought these programs were funded three ways: Federal, State, and Local?

So, depending on how much the federal government contributes, you will see varying impacts, from very little to some.

Perhaps this thread is ahead of itself? Has the government actually stopped MOW?
Or, "maybe", "potentially", it is just more fear mongering from the left.
We should wait and see instead of guessing, right?

 

[initforme]

I'd think the potus would ensure this population that needs these meals would ensure by EO they continue to get them. There's zero reason whatsoever to stop them.

Just stating a fact.

It's a breaking news story, there's uncertainty (which Trump often likes to sow) and when there's uncertainty about whether one might be breaking the law then yes, as you say we must "wait and see" and that's the news, while they "wait" people won't get fed.

Rather than objecting to the story existing, why don't you go and investigate it further first?

Probably not since they get some funding from the feds but not all. This is what I found from last year when searching for an answer.

You have a misleading thread title........."NO MORE MEALS ON WHEELS..."
You don't know if it has or even will stop or not....but here you are creating a topic you want to argue.

I created a topic based on a breaking news report, you can discuss or not, your choice.

The title of the article you posted does not say “No more meals on wheels”. That is you interjecting fear mongering.

 

[Thunk]

giddy with excirtement

I dunno about "giddy"...but you certainly are full of it!

It's such a shame that democrat corruption should infiltrate every assistance plan that every plan needs to be halted to overhaul the corruption out of it.

Now that Elon & DOGE have the evidence of democrats skimming from these plans you can bet those democrats will be going to prison...and oh how you'll ***** about that as well!

And you'll follow the MSNBC talking points of "TRUMP IS ATTACKING HIS POLITICAL OPPONENTS"...no...he's locking up CRIMINAL DEMOCRATS!

What would you prefer? I'll consider changing it if you want?

 

[MisterBeale]

It's temporary. They are just finding out which programs serve the public based on victimhood status.


If this program is not favoring one race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation? The will most likely get loans restored.

Judge blocks Trump federal funding freeze on all public loans, grants and more aid

The spending freeze on federal assistance could affect everything from aid to nonprofits, universities, small business loans and state and local government grants.

Funny how low IQ crazy people always go all in on things like maybe, might, possibly.
We never seem to run out of money to fund welfare but we keep hearing that Social Security will be broke. Social security will reduce payments. This would affect seniors more than MOW.
Besides might is not really much to go on.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Funny, my grandmother just got hers this past Friday.

Please dispense with the fear-mongering.

why are you not buying food for your granny?

 

[Independent thinker]

This is what trumpanzees voted for, despite years of people warning what Trump would do with Project 2025 they didn't listen, they were giddy with excirtement for Trump's promise to make America "Great" again, well, blame yourselves, you voted for this - thousands of elderly people won't be getting fed, welcome to third world USA.

White House orders all federal staff to return to in-office work or resign – as it happened

So, you'd rather have us vote for a party that doesn't even know the difference between a man and a woman? Stop with the craziness and Trump would not have won.

 

[TemplarKormac]

why are you not buying food for your granny?

I am, because I live with her. Nobody else in my family could be bothered to help care for her. I even have a respite worker coming in twice a week, all from program(s) Trump has supposedly nixed funding to.

I have knee and back issues, but I care for her regardless. Cooking meals is a pleasure because I can just grab her old cookbook and go from there.

The ingredients are expensive, but still. Meals on Wheels is supplementary.

Right now, you have a copyright violation. YOU NEED A LINK TO YOUR SOURCE.

I see that he has added the Guardian link, but there is still something fishy about this information.




I did a search for this;

"According to HuffPost reporter Arthur Delaney, a spokesperson for the group said that “the uncertainty right now is creating chaos for local Meals on Wheels"

The only thing that came up outta HuffPo was this. . . an article critical of the Obama admin cuts to the same programs.

Trump’s Federal Spending Pause is ‘Creating Chaos’ for Meals On Wheels, Spox Says: ‘Seniors Will Panic’ About ‘Their Next Meals’

President Donald Trump's decision to pause funding for federal grants and loans is reportedly "creating chaos" and uncertainty for Meals on Wheels.

www.mediaite.com

". . . The pause was scheduled to take effect at 5 p.m. ET, just one day after agencies were informed of the decision.

“The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve,” wrote Matthew Vaeth, the acting director of the Office of Management and Budget.

Democrats and independent organizations swiftly criticized the administration, describing its actions as capricious and illegal because Congress had already authorized the money.

“The scope of this illegal action is unprecedented and could have devastating consequences across the country,” said Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee. “For real people, we could see a screeching halt to resources for child care, cancer research, housing, police officers, opioid addiction treatment, rebuilding roads and bridges, and even disaster relief efforts.”
