9. MOWAA federal funding cuts
Mon May 6, 2013, 09:20 AM
May 2013

I checked Huffington Post on the effect of the cuts to MOWAA federal funding cuts, the White House indicated that the sequestration cuts would mean 4 million fewer meals, MOWAA indicated 19 million fewer meals. Not sure of the discrepancy, but each organizational entity relies on primarily contributions, with each receiving some portion of federal funding.
Lets see, President Obama proposes cuts to seniors recieving Social Security and Medicare, disabled veterans, SSI recipients, veteran retirements, etc.
Republicans and some Democrats restore funding to ATC to avoid having longer waits in airports.
How immoral and corrupt are these people, to cut such critical programs? Austerity, Simpson- Bowles, cut the Defense budget by 50% and restore and expand these critical programs. If the President is really about hope and change, he should be publically fronting out those Republicans and Democrats that support or propose these cuts. I am thinking that he really is not about hope and change, he is about himself.
