Or this clip is kinda creepy. Never saw this one I guess.
 
Of course we can cut school lunches for the poor kids & meals on wheels for the elderly....there's no proof they do any better just because we're feeding them.

He did get rid of it. In fact, he even tried to use the federal grant money Kentucky got for having such a great exchange to pay for dismantling it.

People's reaction? Well, it was just the damn government screwing them over, as always. Like I said, they have zero interest in connecting the dots. All they want is God, guns, and no abortion.

Just read up on Kynect. Only 75,000 people used it and they just moved to the federal exchange. 75k out of 4.5 million isn't enough to to raise a ruckus and they still have the federal that the Kynect site directs you too. The people that were on probably don't even know it's gone.

Not surprising that he got elected seeing how few people used it in the first place.

The old retired people in Florida of limited means, representing the majority of Trump voters in my area, are totally going to get fucked by the TrumpCare plan. I saw something in the paper that 60 year olds making 25k would have to pay 14K for insurance a year, after losing the 12K in ACA subsidies. Welcome to "paying your fair share" fucko. Turns out you were the one getting a handout that you voted against. Enjoy your steaming plate of irony.
 
Meanwhile, diplomacy on the international stage is getting a big ol' teabag.

The US has said its policy of "strategic patience" with North Korea is over and suggested it might decide to take pre-emptive military action.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the option was "on the table" if the threat from the North's weapons programme reached a level requiring it.

Under the current tax plan, a single parent pays a 10 percent federal tax rate, or $1,255 on a $34,000 annual income, after applying the exceptions available. Under Trump’s proposed plan, the rate would increase to 12 percent, and with the reduction of various exceptions, the same single parent would be paying $2,280.

Mulvaney specifically cited Head Start, which runs early-childhood programs including free breakfasts for children from low-income families, as an example of an unjustified expenditure, arguing that there was no proof that children performed better in school when they weren’t hungry.


tax increases for the poor, huge decreases for the rich. and lets stop feeding the poor kids and elderly people. very compassionate. fucking assholes.

Fun Fact, headstart in my old hometown basically didn't exist. My mum - who in addition to teaching full-time also runs the food pantry - created a program specifically for those low-income children that gives them bags of food to take home and eat over the weekend. They serve about 500 families in the area, most of which are already SNAP beneficiaries that are working multiple jobs, but still require assistance just to keep food on the table. Mulvaney and his ilk should spend some time meeting with these people and the pantries that serve them. Maybe cut an F-35 out of the budget?
