Jeebus. That single mom of two in Detroit depends on Head Start to help her kids get a leg up for school. She probably also depends on the school lunch program to make sure they get a proper meal so they can actually focus on learning instead of their hunger. And it's even more likely that she depends upon Medicaid dollars to keep her and her family healthy.

Because that's what civilized societies do. They don't cast their sick and poor out into the cold. They help them find a place to be warm, to be safe, to raise their children, to aspire to a better life.

So to recap here. Mulvaney wants to ask taxpayers to pay for a BIG BEAUTIFUL WALL.

He wants us to pay for nukes.

He wants us to pay for wars and big warships.

He wants us to pay to house Melania Trump in New York where she barely functions as First Lady.

He wants us to pay for Donald Trump's weekly golf junkets to Mar-a-Lago.

But no food for seniors or hungry children.

And he calls that COMPASSIONATE?
