People fell for Trumps BS. Most of his proposed cuts will effect the Red states of the South.

I hope for your sake that you never have a loved one that requires 24 hour care. There DOES come a time when families cannot provide the level of care required to keep a severely disabled person at home. We don't send someone we love to a nursing home out of convenience, it is out of necessity.

True enough.

lol I don't know about the 8 year thing, but compared to obamas first few months, yes trump has proven himself as someone we the people cannot trust.
If a person called out obama, then they should be calling out trump especially if they voted for trump. He's making his supporters look foolish.

Truth is treason in an empire of lies.

No, it's taken from federal revenues. Not all federal revenues come from taxes.

And Trumps attempts to "build a wall" and reform health care as well as about everything he is trying to do has been meet with so much opposition. The president is not a dictator nor an army of one.

I think we need to trim the fat when it comes to entitlements and reduce those who rely on government services. However, this is a bit much. I believe in a strong safety net for people who don't have the means, like people with disabilities. Why would anyone think that reducing programs to people with cerebral palsy or other ailments is a good idea.

Trump is a massive fraud. Lies, lies and more lies.

There will always be a group who will defend him as he guts the safety net hurting the disabled, the elderly and the sick in order to provide massive tax breaks for himself and his cronies. But this group of people is shrinking by the day as more wake up to the fraud Trump truly is.

Why not look at what the owners of America want? The people with real power. The moneyed elite that bankroll the puppets people vote for? Just follow the money. The Koch brothers for example are the financial overlords of huge numbers of puppets in Congress. They are completely open about what they want. NO public support at all for people with cerebral palsy or any other ailment. They are libertarians, very popular among the big money interests and they fund huge number of propaganda think tanks. Wall Street fat cats also fund huge number of puppets in Congress. The greed is addictive to these people. Thats why there is always a relentless push to massively weaken any support for the disabled, the elderly, the sick and the poor. They dont live the lives ordinary Americans do. They are sheltered from it and with that comes cruel and cold blooded policies.

As long as people refuse to join organizations to fight to get big money out of politics, nothing will change. At the end of the day, we have to choose, either massive income and wealth inequality or democracy. We cant have both. As national income and wealth is concentrated into fewer and fewer hands, that immense power comes at the expense of ordinary Americans with little means to fight back. Try running for Congress without begging the super rich for money and see how you'd do.
