Meals on Wheels

President Trump’s budget director says we can no longer afford to fund programs that do not work. One program facing cuts is Meals on Wheels.

I would like him to ask seniors who are disabled and housebound if this program does not work.

Instead, we need to make America great again by increasing defense spending by $54 billion, despite the fact that we spend more on defense than the next 10 countries combined.

What does this say about America?
