That thing about taking Money from Single Mom in Detroit

the budget director Mulvaney brought up the shit about single mom in detroit and coal miners when talking about taking money from people to pay for others.

i wish someone would respond and tell this fucker that coal miners, single moms and many others benefit from social programs . and they have relatives and friends that benefit from it.

single mothers have parents and grandparents that benefit from meals on wheels.

veterans benefit from meals on wheels.

of course he already knows this but it was a way to try to appeal to the ignorant and pretend this is all out of concern for single mothers and coal miners.

fucking assholes .

As if that single mom would prefer to pay for the wall.

She gets more use from PBS than from any arms dealer.

Thanks to Bill Clinton there is the earned income tax credit. I know my daughter, when she first graduated got more money back than she put in.

Here's a great example of how they could give two shits about a single mom or her kids.

the taxpayers. Or the $100+ billion spent on the F-35 program for jets that can't fly. I bet that poor single mom wished that the Pentagon books were at least able to be audited at all. Mulvaney is a knuckle dragging creep and nothing else.

I live in a community that for all of my life has depended on coal mining. The people who live here now could not exist without social programs like Medicaid, SNAP, and other social programs. They are sheep being led to slaughter because they voted at almost 80% for the bum in the whitehouse.

And, some of the base will be okay if they get screwed over as long as those black and brown freeloaders get screwed over worse.

Is actually a boned-headed hard-hearted billionaire from Boca who doesn't want to pay his fair share and raise society (all of it) upward.
