Just got a phone call from a very upset program admin at our local visiting nurse association, which provides housekeeping services for elderly and disabled. She was in tears, choking up repeatedly, as she explained the reason for her call. "We have just been notified," she said, "that Trump has eliminated our funding for this program. And we have no way of replacing that funding."
The funding for the housekeeping assistance had already been reduced a few months ago; now it's just gone. Also gone are the jobs of those who provided that much needed help.
Just one more example of the cruelty of the Trump administration and his complicit cronies in congress.
When I stop seething I'll start writing letters and making phone calls; if I started now they'd probably have me arrested.

(9,730 posts)certainly when compared to the expense of nursing-home or other institutional care. I guess Trump's prescription for the elderly and disabled would be: "Hurry up and die."

(4 posts)For 12 months he has signed executive orders, had his cabinet destroy their department or the purpose of the departments, whether the EPA, Education, Interior Dept. Housing.
All the cabinet is working hard to take away all regulations, reduce the State Dept to zero. There is no support in foreign countries if travelers need help. Trump is refusing any security briefing on Russia and Putin calling it LIES. Now his administration is saying he is putting us at great risk with Russia and other countries. He is brain dead when it comes to leadership

Ghandi said "a nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members"
The awful sociopath is turning a great nation into a low banana republic !
A such great nation as the US, which once was seen as the land of freedom, which made dream generations of people from everywhere around the world, which was regarded as peacekeeper in the world.
His parents should be brought back to live in a way or another, and sued for having brought to the world this monster !!!!

(8,287 posts)we all hate 45 but this Congress is to blame for this awful shit. 45 hasn't even signed a law yet.
I'm so sorry for them losing their jobs and those that need the help will no longer get it. damn it.

(33 posts)Please draw the line between Congress acts of sabatage to America and Trumps efforts to do the same. The Republicans in Congress are doing as much or more damage than Trumps signing orders. I believe its important we all know that both branches need cleared out.
