More than 150 law firms across the country sent a letter to White House budget director Mick Mulvaney on Thursday, urging him not to propose the elimination of federal funding for the Legal Services Corporation.

LSC provides grants to nonprofits nationwide that in turn provide civil legal aid to those who otherwise can't afford it. The beneficiaries of LSC funding include homeless veterans, low-income workers and victims of domestic abuse.

The law firms made the case that defunding LSC would greatly impair legal services provided by nonprofit groups as well as private pro bono lawyers. wow

Would be a disaster if this ended

 

Like the wealthy that can het the best lawyers already have an edge cuz u know, half the times it isnt really about justice but rather who can give better arguments...

 

This would only further put a gap

Nope. His high deficits should help the economy at least short term regardless of bad policies

 

When the US goes into a financial crisis or his overspending no longer compensates for bad policies, then the real decline will happen

 

i fear ppl will see economy improving short term not realizing hes damaging it long term and then re-elect him again

 

I hope not. But i can see it happening

Soon, for half the population it'll feel like it. No healthcare, no help, no nothing. People in this nation will starve and get sick and die.

Ah, the Legal Services Corporation...that was once chaired by Hillary Clinton. 

If this doesn't show the remarkably stark contrast between Trump and Clinton, I don't know what would. One actively fought on the side of poor people, the other actively wants to destroy them.
