Same argument is of course being made as for free school lunches: “What if someone who could otherwise afford lunch/tampons uses the program?!?” To which I say, “Try learning how economics works, idiot. If teens don’t pay for one thing, they have more money to buy something else. Which improves the overall economy.
It's not like schools are going to be providing those really good Always Radiant pads. They'll probably be better than those boats we had to use in junior high, but young girls don't usually ultra plus. FFS, this is truly a war on women, often by women.
Why does it never occur to these reich wing fanatics that if they're so dead set against the government providing for people's needs, then that provides a perfect opportunity for the private sector to step in? Just any old time, they can go ahead and form their little Jeebus approved social welfare organization and relieve the gummint of that onerous responsibility.
Of course they won't, because what they really want is for people to provide for themselves. And if they can't because of all the reasons, well, they should have made better choices. Like being born wealthy and white.
“ I always wonder what people like Rep. Borowicz think would happen if we got rid of all the social programs and didn’t provide anyone with anything and instead just let them suffer.”
As an ex-right-winger I can tell you: Work or starve. They think that the “moochers” will finally be forced to find work or die. If they suffer and die, they deserve it.

“Plus, go fuck yourself, you horrible ghoul.”
Oh, you mean Ted Cruz?
You know, all those horrible ghouls kinda look alike.
I think I understand. Government doing stuff for its citizens is communism. Government taking away your rights is democracy. Is that right?
Well, it does turn out that Steph was one of the Rep Reps who walked out on the J6 hero cops.

This has been a thing in Oregon for a while. But we were already a bunch of fecking commies.

We have them at our school, readily available. Have not seen any posters for Bolshie Club.
May she only ever encounter IZAL loo paper from now on
(Truely horrible stuff found in schools etc in the 70s and earlier- it was totally non absorbant, a major design flaw one might think)
Or a roller towel at the end of the line.
Good luck, Pennsylvania! Thanks, Robyn!
