So depriving children of food is a "priority" for them. I don't know how to describe that other than "disgraceful".

These chucklefucks always seem to choose the more expensive way of going about it in the name of saving taxpayers money. Abject morons.

Vote em out! not voting is complacency. Not voting is showing that this is acceptable.

I'm not saying voting is the only action needed, but it is an absolute bear minimum.

How anyone with any empathy could ever support these politicians is beyond me.

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.....

They could cut military spending by like 2% and fix a whole lotta issues.

Always think about the children, except when it's something that directly impacts the lives of children.

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.

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.
