"Meals on Wheels" recipients are not the typical people that intolerant and/or incompassionate people can just shake their fist at and yell "go get a job instead of a handout." MOW serves a LOT of people who are shut-ins, immobile, truly indigent, super-senior, or basically waiting for death to knock on the door.
To claim that cutting meals to these people is anyway compassionate it just trumpian BS - no more - no less. If I believed in hell, I would think those who complain the loudest about this are the first inline for the ungreased poker hot, pitchforks - the kind of send off given to Quadaffi right before he was shuffled off to hell.

If there is not protection for the common good than what is the point of having a society at all?
Now you've done it. Expect a long lecture on how nobody asked lifeexplorer personally if he wanted to join society, and so he's perfectly entitled to the goods that come with it but can't be expected to chip in when the donation plate is passed.
Elsewhere, if you want to find more conservative food related compassion, Republicans in Oklahoma have cut food stamps for single poor or disabled people from $16 a month to $8. The compassion is feeling sorry for the oil companies and their bottom line.
Seen people eat dog food, sad. Very sad, - where are your parents ? Wellness check someone ?
Dog food isn't cheap. There is some people food on sale that is cheaper. Tuna goes on great sales @ less cost than Pedigree dog food cans. But you probably get MORE ounces in the dog food can.
Elsewhere, if you want to find more conservative food related compassion, Republicans in Oklahoma have cut foot stamps for single poor or disabled people from $16 a month to $8. The compassion is feeling sorry for the oil companies and their bottom line.
Boy, I didn't realize tha Oklahomans are THAT compassionate! Wow.
If the red states could get together on this, they could have a race to the bottom!
I couldn't vote in your poll, because you refused to post the correct answer, which is that Meals-on-Wheels is not a federal government program.
Meals on Wheels, you see, isn't a federal program. It's a network of thousands of independently run groups that receive varying amounts of government aid – or none at all. (Some rely entirely on private donations). Together, they deliver hot meals to 2.4 million seniors each year. Some of these programs get federal funding, but how that will be affected is still unclear.
There are many links that explain the truth, but I specifically chose NPR so you couldn't whine about bias.
