    That’s because if they FEED STARVING AMERICAN CHILDREN they won’t have enough money to give to ELON MUSK or SUE PREGNANT CHILDREN!

    This article is so baffling. It’s full of shit like-

    Nebraska Republican Governor Jim Pillen, without directly mentioning his party’s political opponents, cited a traditional GOP viewpoint that welfare should not be a cornerstone of income for families.

    “Nebraska is committed to helping kids and families in need. Our programs are focused on more than simply providing food. They offer a hand up, not a handout,” Pillen said in a statement last month.

    Nebraska already has its own food aid programs in place, including plans for women and infants as well as the Nebraska Commodity Food Supplemental Program. As of 2021, the child poverty rate in Nebraska is 12.1 percent, per the USDA.

    So they do have programs that simply provide food, which would be both a hand up and a handout.
