It Is All About The Children… NOT!

You know that the Republicans have banned abortion because life is so sacred but it is okay to stave them.

More than eight million children in 15 states, all led by Republican governors, will be shut out of a new federal food assistance program intended to help needy families during the summer months.

Set to begin this summer, the new program will provide low-income families with $120 for each eligible child, which can be used to purchase food at grocery stores, farmers’ markets or other approved retailers when such assistance is not available in schools.

Can you believe that? 8 million children they are throwing under the bus. They just don’t care if the die, look at all the money we saved by not feeding them.

The 35 states included all the ones led by Democratic governors, and a dozen led by Republican governors from all parts of the country.

But 15 Republican-led states said no. Some of those governors voiced concerns about the program’ mechanics and administrative costs; some indicated that they had ideological objections and a lack of faith in the federal government.

I don’t know about you but I see this as a Christian value, didn’t Jesus feed the multitudes but this will cost money that we gave to the billionaires.

The rollout of the food assistance program comes at a fraught time in the efforts to combat hunger in the United States. Food insecurity rose to 12.8 percent of U.S. households, or 17 million households, in 2022, up from 10.2 percent, or 13.5 million households, in 2021, according to the Agriculture Department.

Moreover, the future of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, a federally funded program known as WIC, remains uncertain, as conservatives in Congress challenge longstanding budget priorities.

The Republican philosophy is: “I got mine, s**w everyone else!”

They just don't care that,

Women will die during pregnancy.

Trans children will die if they don't proper healthcare.

That children will die from starvation.
