Dan Rather: 'People will die' from Trump budget plan
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 3/16/17 | Eddie Scarry

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.

Usually when you disgrace yourself and ruin your career and get fired you are supposed to show some remorse to everyone else by hiding in shame and not embarrassing everyone by showing your face.

Grow up Dan Rather. Those of us who are NOT wealthy elites living in DC and NOT member of the 'out of touch' press - don't fall for every liberal pity party story about people in our communities 'dying'... because we know better..

We know the truth... we live the truth. Yes, there are problems but their NOT anything YOU Dan Rather would understand.

Unlike you Dan Rather - - who gets ‘briefs’ on people in flyover from democrat operatives - operatives who hand YOU files of people to interview - - mostly fakes - - we live here... We know the fakes - people told what to say and how to act pathetic. Why are they 'in' on the liberal scams? For facetime or a small amount of money or because they're the exception that can be showcased. Used to gin up power and funding for DC bureaucrats and their pet victim groups. It's never a help for us. We know the pity party scams. We live here in flyover Dan Rather.

We know the lies. Go away Dan Rather... Cry for your damn fellow 'elites' they're a sick bunch.

The very name, “Dan Rather”, strikes terror into the hearts of the living.

Oh, the horror. Here comes TEOTWAWKI. If this charlatan makes it back to the big time it is proof that the memory span of the average American is about three weeks.

Hey Dan - what about the American soldiers who died when you sided with the Viet Cong?

Courage...porridge...what was this old liar’s cathphrase and why is he still considered relevant?...

Brian Williams is mentally ill with false memory syndrome but Dan Rather was and still is a pathetic old communist liar and enemy to America...

Does Dan fear he will be one of those people? Is it all giving him sever heart palpitations? I will not mourn for him if it is too much for him.
