Maybe carve that out. Community development block grants often go to well off communities to build concert halls.
According to Wiki:
Meals on wheels grants seem to be a minor part of the program. Maybe just increase grants for meals on wheels in the already existing usda programs at the same rate that similar grants would be eliminated by zeroing out cdbgs.
They don't care that this is sh**t program full of waste, corruption and graft often aimed at well off communities. "meals on wheels" is how they sold this piece of sh**t in the first place, of course it's what they are going to cry when it gets axed.
Don't get me wrong, Trump's budget sucks ass. This ain't why.
Are you suggesting that Meals on Wheels is full of waste and corruption, or CDBGs in general? Meals on Wheels is meant to help olds who literally cannot "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" and cook their own food. Do wealthy olds benefit from it as much as poor ones do? Probably not, but it shouldn't be cut.
