You are also avoiding the main point that Trump’s action is illegal. Listen Roundy, I'm not ignoring anything. I couldn't tell you how Meals on Wheels is funded or what goes into any of that. I would bet until Trump was elected, up to and including the 60 seconds before you were told to be outraged, you didn't either. I believe it's probably a great program generally, but a quick google search indicates there have been problems with funding, food quality, expense, delivery and some other issues. Here's an article from a local newspaper from a few years back: https://www.lancastereaglegazette.com/story/news/local/2015/02/14/meals-wheels/23433337/ Here's another scandal from Cali: https://voiceofoc.org/2024/10/oc-secret-settlement-with-pandemic-meal-providers-cost-taxpayers-over-9-million/ As for 'illegal', I'd defer to the The Reichish Frank and his past commentary on unconstitutional behavior from presidents past, likely those you supported. The student loan bail out controversy under your boy Joe comes to mind. I'll repeat what I know to be true: folks like you are generally only concerned about stepping outside the constitution when the other guy is doing it. 2

Alright, then what about Medicaid, Head Start, and SNAP, all of which are being affected by this decision?

Alright, then what about Medicaid, Head Start, and SNAP, all of which are being affected by this decision? I’m a little more dialed into Medicare just based on the reporting over the years. It’s a clustetf#ck of a program rife with fraud and mismanagement and should have been dealt with decades ago. Obviously it helps many, many deserving people as well and they should move quickly to get needed benefits out as quickly as possible. Head Start..no idea about that program but I’d assume there are some serious systemic issues but same story—move quickly to deal with essential benefits to those in need. SNAP, same. 2

4th&long Posted Tuesday at 11:03 PM Posted Tuesday at 11:03 PM A federal judge just blocked trumps pause on spending. ***** him, he thinks he is above the law and constitution.

The Frankish Reich Posted Wednesday at 07:43 PM Posted Wednesday at 07:43 PM Coming along nicely. Here's how these boo boos happen: 1. Outside "experts" like Elon Musk (damn good inventor, so he must be a damn good shadow President, right?) fail to consider what their bombastic pronouncements will do. Congressman from Lower Buttfrick Hollow KY phones White House, says "my constituents are saying their Medicaid appointments have been canceled!" WH goes into panic mode - oops, we didn't think about that! 2. Judge enters TRO, sets hearing for Monday. Main DOJ attorneys look at the Order. Immediately say, "Holy crap, I've got nothing to defend this with! It's clearly unconstitutional. What did your WH legal advisors put together?" WH legal advisors say: oops. I guess we skipped that step. The Clown Car EO Machine that blew up in 2017 will blow up again. 1 1

That, or he has a deep desire to watch the economy explode like the Death Star 1
