Plenty of people on the Left are beside themselves over Trump’s proposed budget, which would cut federal funding to, among other things, Meals on Wheels. The national Meals on Wheels program, for the record, receives only about three percent of its total annual funding from the government. So, if you exercise logic, you might ultimately conclude that Meals on Wheels would continue to exist and do its work without the federal government’s help.
And you’d evidently be right:
Meals on Wheels donations, volunteer sign-ups soar after Trump eyes cuts https://t.co/jBwXpxvi9w pic.twitter.com/NXUMt3gy1w

Well, fancy that!
B-b-but I had hand wringing people wailing in my TL all day yesterday that elderly people & small children were gonna DIE from this cut?!

Why, that doesn’t seem to be the case at all. Who’d’a thunk?!
Oh they can do that without the government? Weird. https://t.co/Se0hGbXs6M

It's almost like it can survive without 3% funding from the fed. Who could have guessed. ?

good … that's how it's supposed to work.

Great. This is the way charities are supposed to work.
Individuals decide where their time/$$ should be spent … not Govt.— HeisenbergHattie (@HBergHattie) March 17, 2017
that's the way it should be citizens taking care of each other. Since when did government become the means to charity!!
— Elliot Figueroa (@ElliotFigueroa) March 17, 2017
This is how it should work. Unforced, charitable giving.
— J.Maxx (@Libertarian247) March 17, 2017
Exactly! This is how it should be. Let Americans step up to the plate! Giving is good for the soul. Get govt out of the equation.
