Hey, seniors and disabled people: your free lunch days are over!

The layoffs at the Department of Health and Human Services slashed the staffs of major federal aging, disability and anti-poverty programs, leaving the future of those programs uncertain.

The agency funds programs that run senior centers and distribute 216 million meals a year to older and disabled people through the Meals on Wheels program.



Columbus Oh -- Meals on Wheels programs across the country are struggling with funding and uncertainty due to Trump administration cuts and high demand for meals, according to Meals on Wheels America, a leadership organization that supports the community-based programs.

Federal funding for Meals on Wheels in Franklin County is expected to run out in June, though it was supposed to last until September, said Chuck Gehring, president and CEO of LifeCare Alliance, which runs the local Meals on Wheels program. Federal funding beyond September hasn't yet been approved by the federal government.


LANCASTER, Pa. -- Many states, including Pennsylvania, are facing federal cuts that could impact nonprofit organizations like Meals on Wheels in Lancaster County.

Lancaster Meals on Wheels received a blend of funding through Lancaster County Office of Aging, which comprises about 37% of its budget.

The group provides meals for seniors who are unable to provide meals for themselves and those with disabilities.

    $37,000,000,000,000+.

    The Dems ran the White House 12 of the last 16 years. If you wanted to do something about it, and thought you could do better, you should have done it.


  2. by Curt_Anderson on April 24, 2025 1:33 pm
    Such a good point HtS! If they don't stop feeding the elderly and disabled, how can the Republicans satisfy the whims of billionaires, with trillions in tax cuts for the rich?


  3. by HatetheSwamp on April 24, 2025 1:56 pm

    Even more reason that the Dems should have addressed the issue when they could have applied their values to the attack on the national debt. Y'nes have only yourselves to blame.

    Most of the decisions are the prerogative of the Executive.

    As Myron Bolitar once said to Win (Deal Breaker, I think), "Tough titties!"

    Well, looking at our constitution, it's the local governments that should take that over. In addition, consider this as a Chapter 11 bankruptcy which is used by businesses and individuals, with no specific debt-level limits and no required income. which allows for the reorganization of debts and assets.

    That's what we're going through now. That's all. We're reorganization a company that went through 250 years of shoddy patchwork programs and regulations that counter each other. We are doing something that Carter, Cliton, Bush I & II, obomber, and pedojoe "said" they were going to do but nobody had the balls to do it.

    Does this "affect" good programs. Yes. HHS has great programs for human services. I believe the vast majority of these programs should be scanned quickly and approved. If they can work more efficiently? Make your changes now. As I've said before, I'm not a fan of the "bull in the china closet" theory. I think it's disruptive and needless. Maybe State Department and DOJ? Dept of Ed is on it's way out.

    Curt, just deal with it. Trump's criminal incompetency and sadistic sociopathy is the Democrats fault.


  6. by oldedude on April 25, 2025 12:47 am
    You've never cited the numerous laws that trumpster is guilty of... Please do so. As of now, you're nothing but bullshit and wasting people's time.


  7. by HatetheSwamp on April 25, 2025 6:29 am

    OD,

    Do YOU ever tire of aksking po to document these accusations? Sometimes, ole pb does.

    "Criminal incompetency?," po? Do tell?

    I've aksked for examples until my typing fingers throb. Talk about po-generated osteoarthritis!!!!!? I'm a geezer, cut me a break!!!!!?

    I'm beginning to surmise that this is mere narcissistic universe-centering.

    So, po, put up... but, by all means don't shut up. Never shut up. First-class comedy.


  8. by Ponderer on April 25, 2025 7:56 am

    od, do you believe that all of the tremendously stupid and incompetent things that Trump is doing are all Constitutionally legal? Or are even likely to be?

    And what's so great about posting links for you guys? Posting links only gets you morons to laugh at the hand that's pointing at something instead of actually examining the thing that it's pointing at. Like dogs do.




    *sigh*




    But if you insist.....

    I do, as with a couple of folks here that actually believe their "opinion" is actually fact. Only because they "believe" it. Alot of "air quotes" there. I've found that however curt twists facts, he and donna can usually cite. Especially if asked. The other two are lost causes. I learned from High School that you lead with fact. The citations. From there, you draw your assessment of whatever the situation is. If you can't start with facts, readers understand you're it's nothing but "opinion." In some cases that's okay, but by in large, you're admitting that you don't have facts to back up your thoughts. Ergo what you're saying is nothing but "BS."

    Especially if you refuse to back your thoughts up. That's a great tell that you don't know what you're talking about. Or switching the subject.

    But the Homeless Hairdo and the Unbelievably Super White Guy still don't have the balls to cut what needs to be cut (at least) in half...

    The overbloated, antiquated, barely worth 1/4 of what we pay for it... MILITARY.

    We're living in a time of peace - where's that "peace dividend"?

    "I've found that however [Curt] twists facts, he and [Donna] can usually cite. Especially if asked." -olde dude

    That's as may be. But I've learned to not waste my time anymore on posting links for you morons to blow off and laugh at for one stupid and irrelevant reason or another because you don't like what the reality is.


    Cite one single, solitary time that any of us has ever posted links to anything that ever got you to accept that what we were saying was reality... that you had in fact been wrong... and that given the info we linked to, you accept the reality of what we asserted over your erroneously ridiculous assertions to the contrary...











    I'll wait...


  12. by HatetheSwamp on April 25, 2025 8:53 am

    "...I've learned to not waste my time anymore on posting links for you morons..."

    Indeed. You center the universe. AND, we're morons. You are a genius. Keehee ha.

    Thank you for proving my point. That you can't cite anything you say on SS. So your "feelings" don't count. Which is typically don't read anything you (and one other) say. It's not worth it.

    That's easy! I have several times asked for a "mea culpa" from your wife when I was proved wrong. One specific time was when a Rabbi was murdered. She had an updated article that completely changed what was said from the earlier article I cited. I read it, found the update was good, so I accepted it and told her. For her, I usually write the mea culpa in a singular post to make the apology stand out more.
