I always tell the hand wringers that there is NO poverty in this country - except by choice. If children are going hungry, then the parents are not working or availing themselves of federal programs. In either case, the children should be put into state care becuase the parents are unfit morons.
Funny how a "proposed" cut can cause anything, any more than a "proposed" increase can alleviate anything.
All but the absolute poorest in America have safe water, food every day, electricity, and televisions. Their kids can go to school, and if they go to a hospital they have to be treated for emergencies.
I spent a week in Burma last summer and can tell you that only the rich there have all of these things. We have poor people in the US, but what we think of as poor is a far cry from what the rest of the world thinks.
There is another possible case - that parents are very ignorant. If so they need to be forced to attend the nutrition training showing them how they can get healthy and cheap food.
Taking children away should be the LAST resort.

"Are there no Prisons? Are there no work houses? Those who are badly off should go there, and those that had be like to die, let them do it, and decrease the surplus population..."
Agree 100%
