Posted on 05/03/2025 7:17:53 AM PDT by DIRTYSECRET

On a call with reporters, an administration official said there would be "no changes" to it. The official insisted on anonymity to preview the budget plan on a call with reporters.

Head start doesn't work so why is it off the hook?

How is removing funding for 120 year old people going to hurt Head Start recipients?

If the Democrats and their willing accomplices in the legacy media did not lie, they would have nothing to say. As far back as I can remember, they have campaigned on the lie that ……. Republicans want to cancel your Social Security.

As to no tax on Social Security, I hope that the funding bill does not change anything about withholding. When the original tax cut bill was passed, withholding amounts were changed so that people did not even get as big a refund at the end of the year as usual, much less a bigger one. Since paychecks are mostly automatically deposited and many people just spend whatever is in their account without paying attention, they claimed that they had had no tax reduction. Dems were happy to go along with this dishonesty.

It’s the limits of pedal-to-the-metal. Gang busters and bull-in-china shop methods only work up to an extent.

A new leader takes over a 3rd world country he has to be ruthless with his enemies knowing the people will get tired of it if it goes on too long. It’s history. Worked with Pinochet. You get them out of the way to proceed. Eventually the pendulum swings the other way. Biden went too far. Trump concentrates on the 80-20 issues and the resistance is tolerable-entertaining.

There are too many poor people. The rich deep staters are a more popular target.

These reporters are so smart

Do they research? I know head start teacher who were flown to dc for conferences where they were put up on fanuloud hotels to drink booze for three days

I have had quite enough of paying for this extravagance.

Tax money goes to that. They get money from no one but taxpayers.

“Created in 1965, Head Start has been proven a failure.

The bad news came in a study which used the best possible method to review the program: It found that, by the end of the first grade, children who attended Head Start are essentially indistinguishable from a control group of students who didn’t.”

A feel-good program. It was part of the war on poverty and poverty won.

They’re well paid baby sitters. Totally unnecessary.

When head start began, a parent went to school with the child...the parents stayed in one room and talked.

It did NOT start out as a baby sitting business...My daughter was my only child then so this was a way to play with other kids. It was only for a couple hours. Only did it for a few months.

Head Start is a free babysitting program for single welfare moms, many with multiple kids from different sperm donors. It subsidizes and encourages the worst ghetto lifestyles.

Should be left to the States. No need for federal funds.

Looking at the feral animals that come out of government schools, this program should be thrown out. It’s lining the pockets of scammers, schemers, ripoffs and conmen. Always has and will continue to do so as long as the grift is allowed to continue .

Yes, there's nothing new under the sun. My beloved grandmother, who was a lifelong Dem, voted for FDR, Truman,etc. believed that propaganda when the eeeevil President RAYGUN trounced Jimmah Carter in 1980.
