One of the budget items supposedly on the chopping block by the Trump Administration is Meals on Wheels (MOW).

Media, Twitter, and Facebook have gone nuts over WH Budget Director Mick Mulvaney saying that MOW doesn’t show results and cutting the program is compassionate.

Only one problem with this. Snippets of quotes were taken out of context as noted here by the Washington Post (yes, the WAPO):

But, because of tweets and snippets posted on the Web, it appears his comments have been misinterpreted. He was not talking about Meals on Wheels, but about a program in Housing and Urban Development Department known as CDBG, or community development block grants.

But wait! Meals on Wheels is still going to lose their funding from the CDBG! Well, not really. You see, very little funding on the state and local level to MOW comes from those block grants. In fact, Meals on Wheels funding comes from a completely different source altogether.
