Enabling people to stay in their homes and age with some dignity is cost effective. Imagine what it costs to move these folks to a
' home" at state expense? The $8 meal delivered with a smile and a quick health check is a massive bargain and a "christian" act.

Frankly, I think MOW would save the cut money and then some by simply going to the board of elections and see who voted for who. Those who voted Trump can go eat dirt.

These fogies salivated at the thought of people losing Medicaid, food assistance, Meals on Wheels, etc. as long as the cuts only applied to the people THEY didn't like. IE minorities, anyone under 50, anyone who lives in a major city.
