Veteran journalist and former CBS News anchor Dan Rather predicted dire outcomes if the White House's federal budget proposal were to take effect, including death.

"Rather than investing in what will truly make America great, this philosophy pounds its chest with false bravado," Rather said in a Facebook note. "People will die because of this budget. People will suffer. Diseases will spread, and cures will not be found. ... our nation will be much darker and more dangerous."

"'Cruel and unusual,' the phrase rings in my head as I read the press reports of President Donald Trump's proposed budget," he added.

And he can manufacture a ‘fax’ to prove it.

People die all the time it is nothing new.

ROTFL! You got any evidence Danny boy? We gotta have evidence.

Paging George Soros - emergency funding requests incoming from your troops!

Fake but accurate.

[Uversabound]

Dan we rather not!

What’s the difference between stopping a heartbeat through abortion severing life.. than death through lack of healthcare? Both lives are not receiving care.

Kenneth, what is the frequency?

Thank God that Dan is back to remind the press what its supposed to do. Until now, I had not heard any reporter criticize the budget by claiming it would kill people. The MSM criticized it, but shockingly no one claimed it would kill children, the elderly or anyone else. They really were slipping. Give credit to an old pro like Rather to remind them that when any Republican puts out a budget, the press’ job is to claim that it will kill someone.

Death: Women and minorities hardest hit.

[albie]

He’s right. I’m willing to bet that right this second people are dying.

"People will die. People will suffer. Diseases will spread. ... our nation will be much darker and more dangerous."

All that his happening thanks to unchecked Muslim immigration thanks to Federal judges.

On the plus side, we don't have to worry about the Hillary Clinton neocon war.

Gosh, how many Americans would that kill!

and cures will not be found. ... our nation will be much
darker and more dangerous." "

Oh the Humanity! So much suffering!
Curse you evil Republicans!

[onedoug]
