Earful, eh?

So Betsy DeVos, Secretary of Education, proposes a budget that eliminates funding for Special Olympics ($17.6 million), another $7.5 million decrease for technical education for the blind, $13 million in cuts to Gallaudet University for the Deaf, another $5 million in cuts to printing books for the blind, not to mention a 26 percent cut to grants to states to support special education. That’s roughly $43.9 million of our tax money.

So far, President Trump has spent approximately $93 million of our tax money on golf trips to his private golf resorts, when you count security, airlifting limos, etc. (www.trumpgolfcount.com.)

So what’s wrong with this picture? Call your representatives and senators and give them an earful, eh? Main switchboard for the U.S. Capitol: 202-224-3121.
