Meals on Wheels Funding cut to prevent Pentagon cuts.

The blunt and always unpredictable Martin Bashir talked with Rep. Gwen Moore recently about the GOP cuts to the Meals on Wheels program, predicting Wheels supporter and tea party loser Joe Barton would vote for the cuts. Bashir caught up with Barton, and never let him off the hook for his party's pathetic use of draconian cuts to save funding for the Pentagon.

What's shocking is how a Republican with hands on experience helping the elderly, can still cuts funding to his favorite program! Is there any question we're seriously dealing with a party of sociopathic ideologues? Meals on Wheels, really?

Bloomberg news: A key House committee has voted to cut food aid, health care and social services like Meals on Wheels to protect the Pentagon from a crippling wave of budget cuts come January.

The cuts approved total more than $300 billion over the coming decade … a fraction of the cuts called for in the broader, nonbinding budget plan that passed the House in March and are aimed at preventing the Pentagon from absorbing a 10 percent, $55 billion automatic budget cut in January.
