Moving beyond efforts to block expansion of health care for the poor and disabled, Republican governors in 15 states are now rejecting a new, federally funded summer program to give food assistance to hungry children.

The program is expected to serve 21 million youngsters starting around June, providing $2.5 billion in relief across the country.

    Cut programs that help people, focus on the small upticks in crimes of subsistence, use them to demoinze, means test, spy on, and incarcerate the poor. Repeat.

      The best part is the mental, physical and eventually societal cost of the stress from all this bullshit. Health declines, more meds prescribed, more medical bills, less retirement because of medical insurance… Games been rigged since before i was born.
