It merely eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a portion of which likely supports Meals on Wheels indirectly through its transfers to states and local levels. Those levels of government and private donors can support the Meals on Wheels and any other programs pertaining to community and economic development that they choose to. Trump has been advised that he has other priorities.John B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-87314010116580823962017-04-24T04:29:15.840-04:002017-04-24T04:29:15.840-04:00I'd like to publish your comment, Anon.

Thus we today find MP's or Congressmen elected.. and so on down the ladder, via provincial or state, or tribal, then local level. Even down to councils, school boards or club levels.<br /><br />What we find now, is how political parties have decided they are the Police & Supreme Court of elections.. and thus governance. Donald Trump represents the pinnacle of this bizarre reality perfectly, as did Stephen Harper. We elect political parties now.. and the representatives at the constituent or voting levels, work as servants to the party 'leadership' as well as the 'winner' of the farcical election 'games'<br /><br />Its really quite out of a dark movie or tv script that gets remade every election.. it can be part fiction, part shocking reality, mucho spin & deflection. In the case of Donald Trumph, the USA has let someone with his brain in his mouth put a crown upon his head. Trump is not a psychopath a la Stephen Harper, but a publically raving rich lunatic - a fraud and a loud one at that. Everyone must obey him.. everyone in his immediate orbit.. just like Stephen Harper. But he doesn't mak or disguise his sick views of Environment, the Citizens, Critcal Thinking or Values.. indeed he flaunts them.... They make him 'special' - and the smartest guy in every room..
