Cruel AND stupid
Let’s see if you are still capable of feeling outrage.
<...>
It’s so bad out there that seniors who suffered these cuts had to literally stop eating? 1/3 'reported losing weight after the cuts?' And another 1/4 on top of that were 'fearful of running out of food or going hungry?'
And now, with these results in front of their faces, they are forcing even more cuts?
These “cuts” don’t even actually 'cut.' Because they cause the government to have to spend on 'increased hospitalizations and premature nursing home admissions attributable to nutritional disorders.'

It is not just cruel to cut off things like food to poor seniors. It is also stupid, because it doesn’t even save money
