Holy shit what a bunch of heartless spineless wankers :(
Imagine caring so much about corporate profits you refuse to literally feed children. ‘Governance’. What a joke.
I imagine they twirled their mustaches and maniacally laughed while announcing this. How much more cartoonishly villainous can they get?
The one bright side of this article is that it's coming from The New Republic, which is traditionally more conservative. And the author is calling out how sad this plan is.
edit: I'm wrong? This never happens! see reply below.
What happened to states rights? Wasn't that the rationale of getting rid of RoweVWade? Oh yeah, that was another lie. Of course it was.
Just evil… no nuance needed.
Yes. it just breaks my heart that people seem to have a goal to make the lives of the vulnerable as hard as possible.
Pure cruelty. Our taxes ment to be used to help people and this means more then paving roads (which in the US isn't done). I'm sick of this idea the government needs to cut spending but then they just cut social programs that is the whole point of having a government.....
I used to work for a small, family owned business. At lunch the wife of the owner was reading an article in paper and said, "90% of this school district is close enough to the poverty line that they receive free/reduced breakfast and lunch, because there's a good chance those are their only reliable meals for the week." Then she looks up from the paper and says "Can you believe that? They're giving away breakfast now, too!"
I'm just sad for the US now. Hope you guys will get better times soon.
Of all the things to rally people around…
Children should not have to bring money to school to eat. A nutritious and tasty meal should be provided free. Their only worries in school should be whether they studied enough to pass an exam, not on their grumbling stomachs. This is dystopian garbage.
They're like a bunch of comic book villains trying to outdo each other in who can be the most abhorrent.
that's a weird priority to have... even weirder to be so proud to announce it
- cut Social Security and Medicare
- make Trump’s tax cuts for the top 1 percent permanent
- impose work requirements on “all federal benefit programs,” like food stamps and Medicare
- extend work requirements on those aged 55–64
- bring back all of twice-impeached and twice-arrested former President Donald Trump’s deregulations, including the weakening of environmental protection.
Well then
I am not American... But I have to say, this sounds just so comically evil it seems something only a badly written cartoon villain would say, like "I will kick all puppies and banish chocolate"
What a weird priority to have.
Can somebody please think off the children!!
Oh wait..
