If the government is going to be sticking its GOP nose into women’s private business, how about requiring the heartbeat expecting parents get to hear be the actual heartbeat sound of the fetus, not a sound manufactured to sound like a recognizable heartbeat.
I know, I know, there's no way to convince an R of their irrationality and cruelty. But jesus effin. The words "we don't want children eating at home" really came out of m'dude's mouth. Could have cut off 'at home' and been more honest.
Late getting this in but I remember when the right wing hacks on the Supreme Court committed perjury and reversed Roe a few anti-abortion groups were slightly stung by claims they cared about fetuses but not living, breathing babies and children. And said they were going to step up and start campaigning to make sure mothers and their children had all the resources they needed to stay healthy. That created a small murmur for about a month before it vanished completely, never to be mentioned in polite right wing society again. Apparently because feeding poor children and providing health care was evangelical blasphemy. You know, because of that famous line from Jesus, let the little children suffer. Or something like that. It helps them grow up as responsible adults because that 6 month old baby is learning what bootstraps are really for. Getting a job and stop sponging off society.
What they really need is a $5 million volleyball facility they aren't allowed to use at a college 100 miles away. That's what we should be spending welfare money on. And if those commie libs would really get woke and block grant Medicaid funds instead of insisting it all go to doctor and hospital bills, we could afford $60 million indoor college football training facilities so our college football players could practice year round and achieve what college is really about, a top ten finish in football polls for the season. And you can't do that if your players are underfed and out of shape. So that indoor facility does actually qualify as health related. At least if you include a snack bar or even a lunch room.
All of this just makes my head explode. They can both get food at some camps or rec centers and via EBT at home. Voila! Two different ways of approaching the same problem. Amazing.
I am very grrrrrrrrr.....about these assholes. If it weren't for food stamps and government cheese and the free lunch program, I would literally have starved as a child.
How dare these evil people call themselves "pro-life". Fuck them a thousand times.
"That’s why Congress recently made the program permanent"
So it's not even "Covid era money". It's just, like, money. PLUS, it comes from me, a tax payer in a blue state because all yall in the red states do NOT generate anything like a fair share. And I say, it's my money, give those kids eat.
Also, regarding summer children's programs? THREE out of FOUR kids who want a place in these programs don't get them, because need waaaay outstrips spaces in these programs. (This is from a Rand study, which I use in my business.)
Forty years ago, in December too, then-United States Attorney General Edwin Meese attempted to spin Ebenezer Scrooge as some kind of benevolent soul because Bob Cratchit and his family weren't actively starving even though their son was at risk of dying because they couldn't afford the medical care that wealthy people could have.

Give. Everybody. Eat. You know, like that guy in that book they are always talking about, with the loaves and fishes.
AND they don't want to pay higher taxes so those lazy welfare kiddies don't go hungry.
Hungry children are heartbreaking for Pete's sake!
If you have a heart ... which, apparently by law, right wing politicians are not allowed to have.
Hmm. Sounds like Gov Jim Pilken doesn’t “trust the parents to know what’s best for their children.”
Let them eat hope and prayer sand wishes.

Taking food from children, polls well with the base?
“We just want to make sure that they’re out working at the sawmill where we will feed them a bowl of gruel everyday."
They'll use imitation gruel instead! It's a lot cheaper!
Just add some of that sawdust from the mill and that gruel stretches a lot father.
Also that none of that food we begrudgingly dole out might go to their less worthy parents, or other lazy takers like grandma.

These are selfish, craven people. They don't think like us.
Trying to figure out, how does someone think like that, is like going through a hall of mirrors.
Well ...

No food at home!!!

You are not the first people of my acquaintance who has said that.
Rapeublicants are subhuman sociopaths. This behavior is their only possible sexual fulfillment.
That government cheese was actually pretty good IMHO
It made mighty fine grilled cheese sandwiches, that's for sure.
And if you were really fortunate, you had a can of Campell's tomato soup to go with the grilled cheese sammich.

Not much has changed since 1983, I guess.

A more cost effective and taxpayer friendly way to eliminate child hunger is to eradicate children.
--GOP
By working them to death.
But only after they're born.
With fetal personhood being all the rage, I hardly see how that matters.
