I second goddess’ motion to get the feds completely out of our lives.

The federal government shouldn't have their hand in anything that isn't directly listed in the Constitution.

while that maybe true...and I agree with the sentiment...but we've gotten about 100 years beyond this idea.
It would be a gargantuan effort to back away and get the fed's out of our daily lives.

What is really sad is that these elderly people are no longer able to cook wholesome meals for themselves on a regular schedule.

Only $76 million cut? That is not enough.

Mad is correct. Where does it say in the constitution that the Federal government should be providing free meals?

Meals on Wheels is a great program , it's a pity some, like the president, begrudge every bite a poor person has to eat.

Trump's golf games alone so far have cost 75 million tax payer dollars. That would have fed a lot of elderly folks.

well that would be ok too Crypt...but tax dollars are diverted to, let's say...more important areas and issues among the states and territories. Sadly there will be much more of our tax dollars being diverted...problem now is that we won't ever find out where it went...

Why do each of us pay tens of thousands of dollars in taxes every year? If elderly people are dying from lack of care then I want all my money back to give to them.

I'm with Bestill on this one . There was a time when I delivered meals here in Wilkes...it's terribly sad sometimes to see how these folks are doing. But the program is well worth keeping.

When you think about it, meals on wheels is not expensive, and old folks and shut ins need to eat. I am happy that my tax dollars go to programs like this. When I was younger and not an old folk myself, I used to drive those lunches. You would be amazed how many folks do not have food. Folks need food and water. Let’s all pitch in and get it done! If the government refuses to provide, let’s all get together and cook.

These cuts are all part of Trump's "Make America Great Again" where the filthy rich are going to win like never before by stealing from the less fortunate like never before.

Maybe if there wasn't so much fraud, cheating, and stealing in obama's administration there would be enough money for all the other things you want to give away.

Meals on Wheels should be provided by the local community. Federal government shouldn't even be needed.

Democrat Nannie State mentality.
