Give the poor nothing and we will have nothing left to lose. eyes guillotine hungrily

The one bright side of this article is that it's coming from The New Republic, which is traditionally more conservative. And the author is calling out how sad this plan is.

edit: I'm wrong? This never happens! see reply below.

What happened to states rights? Wasn't that the rationale of getting rid of RoweVWade? Oh yeah, that was another lie. Of course it was.

"I love the poorly educated"

They sure do. Dumb people vote for dumb candidates.

Holy shit what a bunch of heartless spineless wankers :(

Imagine caring so much about corporate profits you refuse to literally feed children. ‘Governance’. What a joke.

and this is developed nation XD

• cut Social Security and Medicare
• make Trump’s tax cuts for the top 1 percent permanent
• impose work requirements on “all federal benefit programs,” like food stamps and Medicare
• extend work requirements on those aged 55–64
• bring back all of twice-impeached and twice-arrested former President Donald Trump’s deregulations, including the weakening of environmental protection.

Well then

It's like they say, universal free school meals leads to a lazy population and communism.

Jokes aside, I really don't understand their fear of anything that resembles socialized programs.

I'm just sad for the US now. Hope you guys will get better times soon.

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.

Can somebody please think off the children!!

Oh wait..

Republicans ensuring the US will continue wandering the path to a 3rd world country.

Of all the things to rally people around…

Children should not have to bring money to school to eat. A nutritious and tasty meal should be provided free. Their only worries in school should be whether they studied enough to pass an exam, not on their grumbling stomachs. This is dystopian garbage.

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

that's a weird priority to have... even weirder to be so proud to announce it

More orphans for the the orphan crushing machine

I am not American... But I have to say, this sounds just so comically evil it seems something only a badly written cartoon villain would say, like "I will kick all puppies and banish chocolate"

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.....
