Wait, did she just say some kids are too fat so they don’t want to feed any of them?

Meanwhile farmers in Iowa get the majority of their income off the fat teat of the US government. Go fuck yourself hypocrites.

An EBT card does nothing to promote nutrition at a time when childhood obesity has become an epidemic,”

Holy fuck... she's literally saying that your kids should starve because other kids are fat.

“Federal COVID-era cash benefit programs are not sustainable and don’t provide long-term solutions for the issues impacting children and families."

"...so instead we the GOP are going to replace this unsustainable program with nothing making a future problem a problem of today!" /s

"An EBT card does nothing to promote nutrition at a time when childhood obesity has become an epidemic,” Iowa Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds said in the news release."

"While yes, EBT card is useful to buy all kinds of healthy food such as fresh produce, staples such as beans and rice, as well as great protein choices such as chicken, pork or beef, you may not be aware that EBT card can also buy sugar! And, you may not be aware, its possible for someone to consume enough sugar to gain weight. Therefore the GOP solution is to remove the EBT card which grants access to this sugar (as well as all the other food). By doing this those children that are overweight will effectively be put on a starvation diet where their bodies will slowly first digest their body's muscle and put their liver at risk by forcing ketosis. Those children that don't happen to be overweight, and will suffer tremendously, should have thought about that before they let all their peers eat too much." /s

Dear kid,

You will go hungry today because we will also let you starve tomorrow.

Also, you are fat.

Love, Republicans

I love when this happens and they present no alternative. Choosing a losing option instead of accepting an imperfect effort. Try to improve it? No surely not. Throw it all away. If a social program helps someone I deem unworthy of aid it must be removed.

How small of a person.

Some kids are fat so poor kids should starve?

Holy shit GOP.

Repugnants: "We hate kids."

And Jesus said, onto thee, fuck them kids.

This is so fucking stupid, not only does this feed kids the money goes to local retailers but a huge chunk also buys Iowa food products. What the fuck is wrong with that idiot

"God, I want to hurt children so much." - Republicans

An EBT card does nothing to promote nutrition at a time when childhood obesity has become an epidemic,

Poor nutrition is when the poors have too much access to food. /s

She added, “If the Biden Administration and Congress want to make a real commitment to family well-being, they should invest in already existing programs and infrastructure at the state level and give us the flexibility to tailor them to our state’s needs.”

Read: "Give us money and let us cut taxes for our ultrawealthy donors yet again."

“Federal COVID-era cash benefit programs are not sustainable and don’t provide long-term solutions for the issues impacting children and families. An EBT card does nothing to promote nutrition at a time when childhood obesity has become an epidemic,” Iowa Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds said in the news release.

Okay, so they have a better program they're implementing instead to address those issues?

Twelve million children are food insecure in the "Greatest Country on Earth™" and they want to cut spending to feed them.

Surprise, surprise that Republican Christians don't give a fuck about the welfare of kids in poverty.

“Christian Values”

Yikes

“In the end, I fundamentally believe that we solve the problem, and I don’t believe in welfare,” Nebraska Republican Gov. Jim Pillen told the Journal Star on Friday.

“Federal COVID-era cash benefit programs are not sustainable and don’t provide long-term solutions for the issues impacting children and families. An EBT card does nothing to promote nutrition at a time when childhood obesity has become an epidemic,” Iowa Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds said in the news release.

She added, “If the Biden Administration and Congress want to make a real commitment to family well-being, they should invest in already existing programs and infrastructure at the state level and give us the flexibility to tailor them to our state’s needs.”

They don't think the current program to address child hunger is sustainable. They are not replacing it with another program, are they? They're just going to let the kids go hungry?

And people vote for these assholes?

Evil intent dressed up as "this is good for you"

Sounds like a state that needs to put more funding into basic education.

I bet Matt Gaetz was disappointed to find out that this was what his Nebraskan pals had meant when they said they'd be screwing a bunch of kids during summer break.

My sister in law works in a fast food restaurant. My niece (9 years old) primarily eats fast food for this reason. My SIL gets a discount, she doesn’t have to cook or go anywhere else. To her it’s a way to save money. My niece is slightly overweight and doesn’t like fast food anymore.

Food stamps would help, but nobody can get them to reach out for help. They feel ashamed for some reason.

Republicans every single day you endeavor to be the biggest assholes around- why dont you do everyone a favor and TAKE A DAY OFF?

We’re on the bad side of literally every issue. we’re the GOP!

Oh goodness me no! Why would you want to do that?!? I mean doing something like feeding poor kids is only a hairsbreadth away from total communism.

Evil ghouls that are in power need to feel unsafe. They are too comfy with doing harm to working class/poor people.

Absolute ghoul in the thumbnail

This is just the, "Don't feed strays. They won't leave if you do." Except they think poor people will magically find the money to move.
