Hard choices no doubt. What you cut/increase is in many ways a reflection of your values.

It's education, aren't they all valuable in some respect? $7B still has to come out.
They've always said that when they have to reduce spending it's going to hurt. Special Olympics at least looks like they are solvent enough to absorb the hit.
They removed scholarships for children of Iraq/Afghanistan Vets who died in action. That one hurts too. |

Could be a change of heart at the White House regarding the special olympics. Would you consider such a decision a reflection of values? Does the word empathy belong in this discussion? If it is true,Trump will still be lambasted somehow.

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.

I was wondering who would win the prize.... haha . Who would have guessed that you would be the first snowflake to stand forward and (as usual) give no credit. So he is back in a no win situation. Damned if you do,damned if you don’t. Thanks for displaying your lack of integrity on a regular basis. That could not have worked out better.

He tells you what happened then you need to come back and insult him.
It could not have worked out better as you demonstrated again that you have nothing to add but childish insults.
Snowflake - what a clown you are. |

Does this mean you agree with the other snowflake? That this was just a pr move to calm the masses. I asked you the question but he decided to answer for you. Like I said,damned if you do and damned if you don’t. This is a perfect example of the left bashing Trump regardless of if he does what they consider to be the right thing. The policy doesn’t matter,it’s whose policy that the snowflakes are united against.

snowflakes - come up with something original (if possible).
The only reason it was reversed was that pols. on both sides hated it. Devoss didn't know what to say when questioned by reporters about it and stood there not saying anything like a 5 year old.
This is a perfect example of the Trumpsters defending his policies no matter what he says or does. |

Only the faithful would think he deserves credit and a hero reversing what should have never been proposed to start with
Integrity as if you know what it means lol

He is not a hero to me for doing this. He is either a coward in this matter, a typical politician with his finger to the wind, or too prone to sentiment and ignorant of his constitutional role in the matter. I think it is the latter. But not less wrong or excusable just because of being done by kind hearted sentiment.
The cut should damned well have been proposed, as well as cuts to all the other funding of unconstitutional obligations that the federal government has committed itself to. |

You do understand that it was not he who proposed it in the first place I hope. I don’t know who thinks this makes him a hero but if that is your impression then you are a fool. If you don’t give him credit for reversing the policy then exactly who gets the credit? Try to think rather than spouting the snowflake anthem.

Funny you talk about snowflakes then you expect him to get credit for reversing the policy... that should never have never been in the budget to start with ..
its called commander's intent it's his Budget its his people he is responsible ... took him 3-4 days to say
I have overridden my people': Trump says he will keep Special Olympics funded
But not once did he say Say his people were wrong ... or anything he was just feeling the Heat
After Trump made the announcement, DeVos thanked the president and said they see "eye to eye" on this, adding she pushed him to change his stance on funding the program. classics wasn't me....
Only Trump supporters think trump should get credit or praise for just doing what's right .. to start with .. he is so abnormal in his behavior his supporters give him credit for doing something that most americans do normally or on a daily basis... Like please, thank you , accepting responsibility, taking criticism.... not lying all the time ya know adult stuff |
