Idiot Rand Paul has called for Meals on Wheels to be privatized. IT IS ALREADY A PRIVATE NON-PROFIT

that depends on private donations of money and hours, along with governmental financial support. Because so much of the work they do is performed by unpaid volunteers, there are very few programs the government invests in that provide such a strong return on our tax dollars.

What he is really calling for is for these essential services to the elderly to be cut off, even though every dollar the government invests in Meals on Wheels has been shown to save many more dollars on Medicaid costs.

actually defunded it in their smoke and mirror budgets.

Lovely bunch of Christians, aren't they?

It didn't turn out well for them and actually increased costs. Seniors who were able to stay in their home and live independently were forced to move into assisted care communities.
