A clear example is the claim in some media outlets that the proposed budget would kill Meals on Wheels. Meals on Wheels, a program that supports the delivery of meals to seniors who cannot afford food or cannot prepare it, started in Australia and has been in the United States since 1954. The program serves 2.4 million seniors every year and does get funding from the Community Development Block Grant program. But the situation is complicated and saying that the budget eliminates the Meals on Wheels program is factually incorrect. In addition, Meals on Wheels passing funding down to 5,000 local groups that provide food, and they additionally might be affected by the funding cut.
