New headline: Trump stops committing America’s yet-to-be born to feed today’s poor worldwide.

I do not mind helping those truly in need, but it is not a duty of our leaders to borrow against our children’s and grandchildren’s earnings to help ANYONE. Period. If individuals like myself feel the moral obligation to help those in need, great... but stop spending my kids’ money.

In our district, documentation is not required to prove income, all you have to do is sign the form.

We have no business sending any money outside of the country as long as we are running a budget deficit.

George Soros and the other liberal tax-exempt foundations are free to pick up the slack. But we will see that funding social activism is far more important to them than funding world hunger.

It was begun to support US farm prices by creating a constant overseas demand. It was Dole’s farmer support joined with McGovern’s do hooded. Dole also crafted increases in food stamp programs for the same reason.

"Trump plans to scrap school meals program that has fed 40 million of world's poorest children..."

So can we safely assume by this statement that their parents are incapable of adequately feeding their own children? If so, could this be an indication that their culture / civilization is inferior to ours? OF COURSE NOT! THAT WOULD BE dare I say it? RACIST!

Let George Clooney pay for food aid to Somalia and Sudan. BTW, he could also house a few refugee families in one of his Italian villas.

I am in a country now that thinks I am the big white ATM. They look really shocked when I tell them no.

We have churches and synagogues that collect funds to help the poor overseas.

We feed them and they hate us anyway.

There was a thread posted a couple of days ago in which some people in Australia were throwing food to a large lizard, and then freaked out when the lizard came up on their porch looking for the source of the food. The same factors might be in play here. We are throwing food at them, and they think if they come here, there will be much more in the way of goodies for them to feast on.

Even in American schools the Free Breakfast is a joke. The kids toss the food in the waste and only eat the power bars. The trash cans are full each day—If you must feed these lazy overweight kids—give em oatmeal or gruel (thats what I had for Breakfast as a child).

Hold on, hold on, hold on. be not deceived. The numbers that they are feeding us at 40 million is the numbers associated with the amount of money spent per meal. it does not reflect the actual amount of people that received that food. Most money going into third world countries never makes it to the table that money gets pocketed by bureaucrats Warlords and other associated criminals and is never makes it to poor children.
