What kind of ideologically rooted nonsense allowed you to come up with that bit of wrong headed, insulting gibberish?<br /><br />Delivering food to the elderly allows them to stay at home instead of an assisted living facility, helps them retain their dignity, and keeps them from having their savings drained by the cost of assisted living. The benefit to the individual and society from Meals on Wheels is immeasurable. Were one to do a cost benefit analysis of Meals on Wheels, the payback for every dollar spent would be remarkable.<br /><br />And you did notice that the recipients pay for the meals did you not?<br /><br />This is exactly the kind of program our tax money should be utilized for. <br /><br />And that's Mr. "People" to you.Dennis Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936110563379328219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-22306943890532781562017-03-22T07:28:22.086-05:002017-03-22T07:28:22.086-05:00Face it people.

And how wittily he put it. "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help." "We had a war on poverty and poverty won." Ha ha ha. What a card. Let's deny needy people assistance from the government and chuckle about it while we do so.Bitter Scribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04645909858616987997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-37864854204461314802017-03-21T09:42:13.631-05:002017-03-21T09:42:13.631-05:00The human contact is probably as important as the ...The human contact is probably as important as the food in many cases. Although, like most people, I consider myself immune to the appeal of advertising slogans, I began, some years ago, contributing to "Little Brothers -- Friends of the Elderly," after being taken by their slogan at the time: "Flowers Before Bread."<br /><br />But we must, after all consider more important priorities. Building that wall. Buying more fancy weapons systems. And cutting taxes on the rich, which for the current crop of Republicans is the first of the 16 pleasures.<br /><br />TomTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641357239788323783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-40160450103438645932017-03-21T08:48:12.427-05:002017-03-21T08:48:12.427-05:00Sorry, Meals on Wheels is "just not showing a...Sorry, Meals on Wheels is "just not showing any results."
