Trump administration cuts in the Department of Health and Human Services threaten Meals on Wheels (Meals on wheels), a popular program dedicated to fighting hunger and isolation of the elderly in the United States. For decades he has had the support of the Democratic and Republican parties, but now he faces the attacks of the Trump administration. The budget project of Republicans tougles the way for deep cuts to nutrition and other social security network programs that compensate for tax cuts to large fortunes.
Experts and organizations against hunger warn that this measure could have disastrous consequences for the millions of major Americans who depend on the program to eat daily. According to Nicole Jorwic, responsible for political incidence and campaigns of Caring Across Generations, a coalition of caregivers and care beneficiaries that focus on the elderly and disabled people, “it is not exaggerated to affirm that many people will go hungry and that this literally has life or death repercussions.” “They are not just aesthetically beautiful programs. They are necessary in the day -to -day life of the elderly in the whole country,” he warns.
