        You don’t understand the root issue it seems

          Just tell me the root issue is capitalism and that it’s the root of all evil so we can move on

        This will help for what, a year or two?

        He could spend his time and effort trying to fix the issue long term . . . or at the very least address thee root cause (capitalism) and donate the money for a temporary fix.

        The funding builds on the $8 billion already committed to fighting hunger in September 2022.

        And yet lack of access to food and hunger is still growing, almost like throwing money at the problem won’t ever fix it and all it takes is one Republican government to come along and stop throwing money at it for this house of cards to come crashing down on the most needing.

          How do you know that’s not part of the plan?

          Also, the president can’t address the “root cause” or “capitalism”, that’s the domain of Congress.

            Because he’s an unashamed capitalist.

            Really he can’t ever give a mention of it during say a state of a the union? Because by address I mean do the bare minimum and use his words to explain to the public what the issue is.

                Right, so he won’t do anything to actually address the problem, only kick it down the road.

                Glad you’re fine with not attempting to fix hunger.

                  No one seems to get it do they? Or they’re all down voting us because “Biden good no matter what!”

                  They really think 1.8b for however millions of people hungry will last long, and will provide them with unlimited food for life, lol.

                  It’s nice that people have such naive views of how to fix things, but it’s not realistic.

                  As I said, this is just for pr before the elections.

                    “Biden good no matter what!”

                    For those in the audience, this is an excellent tell. Only right wingers think in this manner. They exclusively think in this manner. So if someone accuses you of thinking “Biden good no matter what” it’s a pretty good clue that they’re a troll, because they’ve shown you a glimpse of how their mind works and it’s working Republican.

                    Yeah, at least it’ll be the same as last election where the day afterwards people will go back to actually being critical of Biden again.

                    Can’t even hold him accountable during the primaries for these fanatics.

      How does one “fight high grocery prices” exactly? You can’t legislate lower margins for companies.

        … Of course we can. Why couldn’t we?

        There’s also all sorts of laws that aren’t being enforced, but should be. Such as anti trust laws, which could be used to split almost every company at the grocery store, as well as most grocery stores themselves

        There’s probably laws still on the books related to price gouging for basic food specifically too

        Our country wasn’t always like this
