The Trump administration's budget director, Mick Mulvaney, really kicked the New Cruelty into a higher gear in a White House press briefing Thursday, explaining that sure, there may be a lot of things government does that might give you good feels, but don't really have any demonstrable results. Useless fripperies like Meals on Wheels, let's say, or after-school nutrition programs for poor kids. These things don't make a profit or kill our enemies, so what good are they, really?
My condolences to you and yours. There was a kid in my elementary school who obviously never got enough to eat. I used to give him half my sandwich and a piece of fruit (which I'd put in my lunch for that purpose), and I knew that helped. I never told anyone about it before. I didn't even remember it until I read this.
These dickbags can't see anything but their own short term gains. Literally nothing exists outside of their own experience. That and "Fuck everyone else and devil take the hind most" is their motto.
Dear Mr. Rich Asshole Budget Person,I pay taxes too and I would much rather not have malnourished, uneducated children roaming the streets or my elders starving to death in an unheated apartment. Beside the alledged reduction in my taxes is a negligible off set by your cronies devouring my retirement savings. In conclusion, fuck you very much. The world would be a better place if you fell into an open manhole onto pointy Legos.
See, Republitarians think the "proper" use of tax dollars is bombs and corporate welfare. If old people and children are hungry they can go get jobs at those corporations the taxpayers are subsidizing.
That's exactly what we said about Dubyah. Only this is even worse--or maybe, the inevitable result of going down that dark road.

Do you know what program has shown it hasn't delivered what was promised? Trickle down economics end it now!
No need - just starve him to death

Who's going to pay for internet access without food?
It's compassionate conservatism, minus the compassion.

In other words, bog-standard conservatism.

There's no such thing as Meals on Wheels; there are trucks that have wheels and deliver food; FAKE program!
Yeah, and let's repeal all the child labor laws while we're at it. They're unconstitutional.
Betsy DeVos and friends seem to think so.

Y'know, if Hillary had been elected we'd have a taco truck on every corner by now and we wouldn't NEED Meals on Wheels.
