That’s nonsense.
How much does it cost do buy a few loves of bread and some peanut butter? How much does it cost to buy a couple of dozen eggs? How much does it cost to put some vegetables on the table and some cheap beef? How much does it cost to put some fresh fruit on the table?
The real problem is that parents are not tending to their own children. Lets face it. Lets deal with it.
It doesn’t cost thousands of dollars per month to feed your family. Those of us who spent part of our lives having to scrape buy, somehow found ways to make sure our kids ate well. And somehow we did it without government programs.
You talk about bang for the buck. It’s my buck asshole.
If parents refuse to take care of their children, put the children in a safe environment where they can thrive.
Ever notice how those who “can’t feed their kids” usually smoke a couple packs a day? Either that or they weigh more than my horse.
“It’s my buck asshole.”
Name calling — great. Welcome to FR.
Your idea of taking the children from the parent and putting them in a safe environment. Very good - are you willing to pay for that? How do you propose that be done? It is easy to write about it without being required to take action.
Take a good hard look at the program before making your assumptions and where the money is really going. Like I said, I do not agree with the whole bill and question the need for increased spending. I have also made that point with the USDA, most likely with no avail. There are those of us within the government programs trying to make them more efficient from within and being successful at it. Unfortunately there are not enough of us.
