Meanwhile, they literally get free lunch. It's some ridiculous stipend over $100 a day. Tax corporations and the 1%, no never. Starving children though, excellent idea. Can't get kick backs from a single parent who's struggling. Plus we can use the money we saved to give Uvalde another armored vehicle. That'll help the children. We are truly screwed.

Profits are priority over children being able to eat, right? Makes sense to me! /s

This is just plain cruel. But I think they know that.

For a lot of kids, especially those whose families struggle financially, the free school meal is what they have to eat that day, and this would take even that away.

Horrible.

Using public funds to help people? Not on the GOP's watch.

You see, the issue is if you spend money to guarantee children aren't going hungry then that money isn't going into the pockets of some billionaire instead. And they just can't handle that.

Absolutely ridiculous and cruel. But not surprising for Republicans Their mindset of "I got mine, screw everybody else" is so terrible.
