Yet another stupid meme masquerading as news.  I would suggest you actually look at what she is focusing on before you tie her intitiative with the reduction in funding to CHIP.  Here is what she is really talking about.

The first lady said early on that she would focus on child well-being. The goal of her public awareness campaign is to encourage parents and other adults to teach children how to be good citizens, including being kind, not bullying on social media or anywhere else, staying away from drugs and taking care of themselves.

The campaign will focus on the issues of well-being, social media and opioid abuse, she said.

"If we truly listen to what our kids have to say, whether it be their concerns or ideas, adults can provide them the support and tools they need to grow up to be happy and productive adults who contribute positively to society and their global communities,"

Imagine the concept, parents taking responsibility for teaching their children to be good citizens, to not cyberbully, to stay away from drugs, etc.  Nowhere does she advocate for government to be the focus of this effot because she actually believes in personal responsibility.  More and bigger government is the left's only answer to anything. 

I know, kids are going to do drugs and cyberbully because of the reduction in CHIP, yet another government program rife with fraud and waste. Think critically here and do more than repost some left wing nut's fake news.  Leave that for the intellectually vacuous and think for yourself.

EDIT:  I would also be remiss if I didn't point out that the $15B he cut was unspent funds from programs that expired two decades ago, not from current funding of CHIP.  But hey, don't let reality get in the way of a stupid, lying meme.  Liberals are just so dumb.
