WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is counting on a variety of private-sector partnerships to help fund and implement its ambitious goal of ending hunger in America by 2030.

Biden’s administration released a list of more than $8 billion in commitments to the cause from private companies, charitable foundations and industry groups. They range from outright donations to in-kind contributions of services and include:

—A $20 million commitment from the Novo Nordisk pharmaceutical company to improve access to healthy foods and safe spaces for physical activity in marginalized communities.

—A $3.85 million commitment from the Publix grocery store chain to supply food to local food banks and establish free mobile food pantries.

—$22 million from the Danone food company to fund a program to help “at least 300 million Americans to build healthier dietary habits.”

—A commitment from the Meijer grocery store chain to offer up to a 10% discount to incentivize users of the SNAP program to buy fruits and vegetables.

Wic is one I at least have some confidence in. Can only buy approved items. But then typically the next ring up is beer and chips with cash.

This is happening in 1 state of Minnesota and the fraud is enormous.
This is a money laundering operation by the democratic party mob.

How do you not notice the fraud?
State and federal politicians must be behind this.
$250 million for this daycare fraud and more to uncover and $100 million a YEAR amount for the day care fraud.

The Rep. Ilhan Omar who hates America has to be involved.

Millions of dollars in suitcases fly out of MSP, but why?
Published May 14, 2018 News FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul <- you can bet nothing has changed since!!
https://www.fox9.com/news/millions-of-dollars-in-suitcases-fly-out-of-msp-but-why

On the morning of March 15, Fox 9 chased a tip about a man who was leaving the country. Sources said he took a carry-on bag through security that was packed with $1 million in cash. Travelers can do that, as long as they fill out the proper government forms.

Fox 9 learned that these cloak-and-dagger scenarios now happen almost weekly at MSP. The money is usually headed to the Middle East, Dubai and points beyond. Sources said last year alone, more than $100 million in cash left MSP in carry-on luggage.

In 2015, investigators documented $14 million in carry on cash. By 2016, it had mushroomed to $84 million. Then last year, $100 million.

Democrats pockets soon to be lined with more of our money, and of course hunger will not go away.
Democrats love money far more than people, far more than doing right, far more than anything.
Why else would they continue the policies they push?

One solution would be to keep Chris christie, Michael Moore, Jerry Nadler and Stacey Abrams from hogging all the food.
