I know what ... Meals On Wheels for welfare recipients!
These poor children.
It’s bad enough that they have to suffer through crappy MObama meals at school, now he want to shovel that shizit at them in the summer too?
Prezzy wants a cracker (10 million worth)
We have this program in our city and it’s a scam! Anybody can go to a pickup site and get a free (crappy) meal. We check out the schedule and purposely avoid certain parks in the summer because they will be overrun with gibsmedats.
They get food from their EBTs, from those free camps the average middle class family can’t afford, from libraries, from schools, from church, from the food bank, from holiday giving, from various other charities. And now they’re going to get more? Then Mr. Big Spender better pay for that out of his own pocket and stay the heck out of mine.
Sure thing Barack, when you have a dollar for dollar swap of mom’s EBT card, until then, stuff it.
“...that will allow them to buy an additional $45 in groceries per child each month ....”
How do we know that the kids will get any additional food? How do we know the food won’t be junk or unhealthy food?
Salvation Army does this in Detroit already, a lot more efficient and cheaper. They have trucks going to the neighborhoods.
What is the parent doing with their EBT card now?
Are these kids obese or are they struggling with hunger? Has to be one or the other.
He doesn’t want to feed the kids, he wants another item in the budget that the Republicans can turn down, so they will then be known as the party that starves poor children because they are racists. So it is a win/win for the DEMS as usual. And THIS is precisely what the Republicans have been up against.
It was absolute genius when the Dems put food stamps and school lunch budgets under the Agriculture Dept.
The states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to appropriate taxes to buy groceries for low-income families.
What the corrupt Washington cartel is doing is stealing state revenues by means of unconstitutional federal taxes, revenues that the states could be using to buy groceries for low income families.
And the payback to the Washington cartel is welfare votes for incumbent federal politicians.
Get ‘em hooked on that government teat when they’re young. There’s no better way to build an endless army of incompetent welfare addicts that vote progressives then getting them hooked on gibs.
I wonder if obama know how many boxes of cereal, jars of peanut butter, loaves of bread and gallons of milk you can buy for $45
Someone should ask him
None of these programs existed when I was growing up. But I went to Catholic schools 1-12. There was no food program for us. We all managed to not starve to death. BECAUSE OUR PARENTS FED US!!!!
The federales are constantly cooking up schemes to confiscate the earnings of taxpayers in order to hook more people on government dependence. We need a president who will veto these bills and drastically cut the size of the bureaucracy.
