I thought the funniest thing was mentioning Obama and empathy when Trump's budget guts cancer research, makes education more expensive, hurts health coverage of millions of Americans. It cuts 4.5B from National inst. of Health, 25B fromn S. Security, $200B from student loan programs, $818B from Medicare and $1.5T from Medicaid.

If the federal gov. got out of "funding" most of those things, costs could actually go down. And wouldn't it be "funniest" if the fed gov funded everything we want and need? Then everything would be "freeeee"!!

Or we could just say it shows the lack of empathy and compassion for the poor that this Administration has

Empathy and compassion are not indicated as a federal responsibility in the U.S. Constitution. Why on earth would you want the federal government to be responsible for the poor? Is there anything that you think the federal government should not do for you?

They are addressing the opiate epidemic. Albeit without compassion and empathy.
