Re: "Poor woman who is going hungry to make sure daughter eats..."

Sorry, not credible.

There are at least three major federal programs that feed children or help mothers purchase food for children.

There are more programs - public and private - that feed children at the state and local level.

The most common medical issue for USA children is - obesity.

Don’t know any working poor?

Those folks don’t qualify for the federal and state freebies.

Trump’s election, for the working poor especially, will be a Godsend.

You know some people don’t want to take government handouts. When my kids were little, I remember making porkchops, one for each kid. I would eat whatever they left on the bones. When we got a pizza, I would eat the crusts that they didn’t like. I worked at the same place for forty years so as time went by, I got more money and worked more weekends. I put my trust in God not the government to take care of us and He did.

Let’s go with the actual, automatic (and fair) Freeper response:

You’re poor and you’re buying prepackaged cheese and pepperoni snacks for your child? That’s at least 3x the cost as if you bought and packed them on your own, and pepperoni is something of a luxury for working-class working adults, even if they buy it more economically!

Anyone who is doing that and going hungry is, essentially, bringing it upon herself.

As to the politics, the shrew in the video is of course way off base.

Not everyone wants to go on govt assistance

When my parents divorce my dad just didn’t bother to pay any of the assigned money. My mom worked at starting nurse wages to raise us five kids. It was real hard but she was too proud to let us even sign up for the school lunch program

We’ll get by

That was our motto

public schools are basically food vending machines. If the kid isn’t on free or reduced, mom isn’t plugged in at school.
Our district even runs it’s own food trucks during the summer to feed kids and even has the cafeterias open during the summer.
