    States that participate in the federal program are required to cover half of the administrative costs, which would cost Nebraska an estimated $300,000. Advocates of the program note that the administrative cost is far outweighed by the $18 million benefit, which the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates would benefit 175,000 Nebraska children who might otherwise go hungry on some days during the summer.

    Imagine being such a reprehensible monster that you’d let 175k children in your state starve rather than participate in a federal program that’d help feed them when school is out each summer. It’s unconscionable.

          What are we supposed to do when our leaders and the wealthy (i.e., a small minority who holds all of the influence) have effectively declared war on the rest of us (i.e., almost everybody)?

          No no no, violence can be the answer, depending on what the question is. Like this:

          Historically, what happens when the poorest citizens of a nation have no food, no homes, and no hope for the future, because the rich are hording it all?

      Republicans get off on dead children. It’s as simple as that.

      Remember, Republicans only care about fetuses. They don’t care about babies and kids.

        The birthed children need to starve so they can be told they’re starving because of democrats.

      Every farmer in that state receives welfare. Every fucking farmer benefits from agricultural subsidies.

      The governor believes in federal welfare, just not welfare that directly benefits kids.
