On this week’s Real Time with Bill Maher, the feisty host came out of the gate with Saint Patrick’s Day humor, lambasting the Trump administration for all of the health, environment and human services budget cuts it recently announced. “The White House celebrated Saint Patrick’s Day by slashing everything that’s green in the budget,” said Maher.
“They’ve taken all the money from scientist and teachers and human rights workers, Meals on Wheels, Muppets, and given it to the people that really need it — the defense contractors,” Maher joked. President Trump has reiterated his campaign promise to reissue jobs to struggling, broke coal miners. On this note, Maher said the coal miners might have their promised jobs back, but find rather abruptly that they had lost other essential services.
“That’s what passes for good news in this administration — ‘You’re going back down in that toxic hole…’ and then as they’re lowering them in, ‘… and we’re going to take away your health care!’”
As he went about cutting funding for important programs like Meals on Wheels that provide needed food to hundreds of thousands of hungry Americans daily, as well as school programs and funding for the arts, Trump has clearly forgotten yet more of his campaign rhetoric when he asked, “What do you have to lose?” Maher said Trump voters now have an answer: “This stuff. Life as we know it! I always said this — you want Republicans to care about kids? You have to just jam them back in the uterus.”
