Colbert: Trump Is Building America’s Greatness from Ground-up Bones of the Poor

‘I know this is an unpopular position these days, but I believe children should go to the doctor and eat’
By Grabien Staff

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
COLBERT: "Just today, this morning, the Trump Administration unveiled their 2018 budget, titled, "A new foundation for American greatness," which is just slightly grandiose for a financial document. It's like calling your grocery list "A bold vision for yogurt and dog food." Not a lot on that list. Now, that foundation of America's greatness? What he's building that on? It turns out he's building out of the ground-up bones of poor people because this budget cuts things like the food stamp program, SNAP, and the children's health insurance program, CHIP So he's cutting "Snap" and "Chip," to which America's children replied "Stop" and "Help." I know this is an unpopular position these days, but I believe children should go to the doctor and eat. Where do I find the courage? Where do I find the courage? Not in the White House. And the whole thing is particularly cruel to one minority group: Trump's voters. Because the president's budget hits his own voters the hardest, taking aim at the social safety net on which many of them rely. It's all there on trump's new hat, "Make the poor live on squirrel meat again."
