******WAPO****** Chump wants to cut Meals On Wheels





Even among the majority of GOP members who hailed Trump’s desire to pare back spending, many worried about the size of some of the proposed cuts.

Rep. Mark Meadows (N.C.), chairman of the hard-line House Freedom Caucus, said he was encouraged by early reports of new curbs on food stamps, family welfare and other spending, but said he draws the line on cuts to Meals on Wheels — a charity that White House budget director Mick Mulvaney suggested was ineffective earlier this year.

“I’ve delivered meals to a lot of people that perhaps it’s their only hot meal of the day,” Meadows said. “And so I’m sure there’s going to be some give and take, but to throw out the entire budget just because you disagree with some of the principles would be inappropriate.”
