HYPOCRITES! Dems STEAL from Disabled to Pay Themselves
Apr 7, 2019 19:49:29 #
When you look up the word ‘hypocrite’ in the dictionary a long list of members from the Democratic Party should show up.
As first reported by The Daily Wire, New York Democrats are cutting funds to the Special Olympics to increase the raises for the state’s lawmakers.
But all of this comes just a short week after the Democrats bashed the Trump administration for proposed fund cuts… and there’s a HUGE difference.
The Daily Caller reported, “New York’s budget for the Special Olympics decreased from $200,000 in 2018 to $150,000 for this year… Meanwhile, every one of the state’s 213 lawmakers will ultimately receive a raise that is almost the same amount cut from the games for disabled athletes.”
According to the report, the new budget increases New York state lawmakers salaries from $79,500 to $110,000 and gives Governor Andrew Cuomo a whopping $70,000 raise, handing him a $250,000 salary.
Ironically, the Democrats practically lost their heads when the Trump administration even mentioned cutting funds to the Special Olympics, which President Donald Trump overruled anyways.
After hearing the news, Trump stated, “I heard about it this morning… I have overridden my people. We’re funding the Special Olympics.”
However, when the Trump administration proposed the budget cut they planned on sending those added funds towards their education budget, not back into their own pockets… But that didn’t stop the Democrats from extreme criticism of the GOP.
In response to the Democrats complaining, Trump 2020 Deputy Communications Director Matt Wolking released the following statement… “I’m sure Democrat who se abortion as the cure for Down syndrome and other disabilities are sincerely concerned about kids having the chance to be in the Special Olympics… The Special Olympics, by the way, is a private charity with $61.3 million in net assets that gets only 10% of its funding from taxpayers and enjoyed a $1.8 million surplus in FY2016.”
But for New York taxpayers – their dollars are going right back into the very crooked politicians that run their state.

Confused...
Maybe my math is off...
200,000-150,000=50,000...
79,500～110,000 is an Increase of 30,000
30,000*213=6,390,000
Add 70,000 for the governor =6,460,000
So how are the numbers 50,000 and 6,460,000 equatable?
