The Face of Compassion

With incredulity I watched White House budget chief Mick Mulvaney declare that defunding Meals on Wheels is the essence of compassion because those people who make money get to keep their own money. That's swell. But who takes care of the elderly recipients of the aid? Killing off the NIH, destroying the EPA, strangling Big Bird, shuttering after school programs, while at the same time expanding our military seems like a recipe for disaster. Building more and bigger bombs while allowing air and water pollution to grow means more people will have cancer in their future without the research dollars to help them.

On a happier note, I will finish the Fish quilt this weekend so come back to see pictures.
