I'll ask again....should the federal government give millions of dollars to every private charity organization out there and shouldn't they all get the same funding in the interest of fairness? Should "well-connected" wealthy private organizations and charities get more federal funding than those less well-connected and of lesser means????

from USA TODAY

Plus, Special Olympics has donors and lobbyists who are well-connected to members of Congress.

Special Olympics posted almost $149 million in revenue in 2017, with $15 million – or about 10 percent – coming from federal grants, according to its financials

Why is Special Olympics getting so much attention now, when this cut was proposed in previous years?

The same cut to Special Olympics was proposed in the 2009 department budget, long before Trump and DeVos.
