Should have never started funding it.  Yes, really.

[Prudence]

It's 272 THOUSAND kids!! Your incorrect--it IS going to affect the kids.

Loss of Special Olympics funding would hurt Maine’s Unified sports programs
https://www.pressherald.com/2019/03/28/maines-unified-sports-programs-would-be-hurt-by-loss-of-special-olympic-federal-funding/

18 million dollars cut which is the literal equivalent of 5 Trump weekend vacations to Maralago!
It's fucking sick kids!! Who the fuck would take one dollar away from them???

Your completely wrong about your Meals On Wheels point too.
There was also disagreement over whether or not there was a $3 million cut in the main source of federal funding to the program....
https://thehill.com/policy/finance/335368-funding-confusion-complicates-meals-on-wheels-budget-fight

While I do agree the money would be made up in other ways, IMO not a dime should be taken from these kids.
Plus--I just read this gem about how Besty DeVos would PERSONALLY gain from taking away that money.
   
Betsy DeVos has major financial holdings, not just in charter schools and for profit colleges, but also in some of the organizations that give money to people to send their kids to these private schools. So literally every part of her disgusting little budget here is something that’s going to benefit her, her financial holdings, her investments, Betsy DeVos, the secretary of education is taking money away from disabled children and literally putting it in her own pocket.

The post I made before this one about Maine's special olympics showed you otherwise.
It sure as shit is...F A C T
"A trip to Mar-a-Lago costs taxpayers approximately $3.6 million, according to a Government Accountability Office report," the website says.

hold on now, special olympics is the only chance bodybuilding have to become an olympic sport

[myt1]

First he over takes the politics section by staring threads about every article he clicks, and now Howard is spreading his stupidity to the g & o.....great!

Ratherbebig, you better get ready to compete with Howard the Cuck's thread starting prowess here.

"Shriver earned total compensation of $220,162, including base compensation of $199,675. Several other executives listed on the 2010 Form 990 — the most recent available — earned more but most ranged between $160,000 and $280,000."

Keep in mind that ^ was in 2010!

You have Google Howard. Try using it for a change.

Why is the Department of Education putting $18M into it's budget for the Special Olympics?  It's a great cause, that is well supported and it's primarily about competition in sports not education.

Still think they need $18M a year from the department of education dummy?  You'd think a former teacher, and leftist crybaby would want that money spent on something like......IDK....improvi ng inner city schools that dems have ignored because they want them stupid, and dependent so they will vote for them?

How about this?  Shriver (kennedy klan money takers of tax rev for life), and the others donate their time since they're rich already, and everyone just brings their own gatorade and water to the event?  That's $18M easily.  $15M non salary/5 million athletes = $3 dollar per athlete or roughly 2 bottled waters or gatorades each.  Problem solved.  Still would have over $80M in net assets.  Debate over.

Do you ever think or actually read the full articles you link before you post? 

Didn't think so

When you adopt someone’s views without any critical thought of your own, end result is Howard.
I’m convinced those who are not receptive to information on both sides and blatantly disregard truths and facts are intact mentally impaired or at very least come from a deranged childhood (Howard).

His political views are not of his own, they are that of his  now deceased mother. Howard grew up in a single parent home and believe his mother use to be a sex worker?( if that’s not the case I apologise).

It’s easy to characterise Howard as a dumbass or pervert, but you really need to sympathise with a man who had no direction, guidance or even a normal environment to grow in as a child.
However playing the victim card and not being responsible for you’re own opinions, political or non political will result in a lifetime of hardships. Eg, multiple divorces, inability for critical thought. This is especially dangerous as a teacher if you pass these, obvious inherited backward ways onto students.
Whether it be teacher, parent or any authoritarian figure to children, one must always encourage critical thought.
After all, the great nations of the world historically and present were built on the exchange of ideas, we waged wars against foreign enemies and fought for independence  and freedom. The very freedoms the LEFT are looking  to suppress through dangerous ideologies and beliefs. Instead of fighting for a better west, you fight for micro agressions, silence and way of life that exists in a children’s novel.

The blind hatred for trump/republicans will consume the left, to the point I see a tyrannical uprising in the next 30-50years. There is so much racial, political and social tension a cleansing is on the horizon. The strength of the left will be in numbers not intelligence, just like Islam. They’re building a platform as we speak, introducing socialism, open boarders, late term abortions, GND. These are just speaking points for now, it’s a slow burn process in which our schools, universities, social media platforms are brainwashing our kids. This might seem hilarious and ridiculous now but give it another 30-50 years when America’s gun rights are really threatened and taken away.

Howard,” When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.”
Time to stop piggy backing off your mothers ideals and adopt your own thoughts based on in-depth thought and proper self reflection.

Rest easy, Howard.  You can participate in the Special Olympics again.

Your welcome.

For what? I don't know a single liberal that's posted anything negative about Trump that hasn't come back to bite them in the ass. They've literally been wrong about EVERYTHING. Take this thread for example.
