    Going right for the weakest first. Meals on wheels too. These are people with no fallback. You bring them their days food. They are elderly and you are the only person they will see that day and the next.

    Fing evil

      We can’t be giving those old fucks free food, it’s not like we’re the richest country that has ever existed or anything.

      Let’s leave free food to the states.

    Lot of rural Trump voters who are farmers as well. The only people really losing here are the lower classes: farmers, people working these programs, children, and the people who rely on these programs.

    What kind of fucking psycho wants this Soviet-esque bullshit when the money and food are already right there and available?

      Money spent putting food on your child’s plate is money that’s not in my pocket.

      I would assume the real reasoning is along these lines but I imagine there’s also some kind of waste reduction throw away reasoning meant to give the rubes enough cover to pretend it’s not morally reprehensible behavior.

        More people need to understand scale. It’s bad enough people don’t understand the difference between a million and a billion, but hardly anyone truly understands a trillion. The US budget is 7 trillion. This is going to save 0.00014% of the budget.

        More Amazon Prime subscriptions are needed, not food for your children!

        – Trump, with Jeff Bezos at his side when Prime subscriptions slow down.

          This is the real angle. Privatizing food and water. They’re already setting up all the steps to make this happen.

          They’re going to bankrupt farms so billionaires can buy them, then sell it back to you for profit.

          They’ve already decimating water system protections, so if you want unpolluted water, guess where you need to go?

          It’s like Nestle on a completely different level. Maybe this is the “4D Chess” all his idiot followers have been clamoring about.

    How is anyone anti feeding children??? I mean idk how politicians aren’t competing with each other to have the best lunch programs as their “legacy” or whatever. It’s so hard to pick out a single shittiest thing these days, but taking food off children’s plates is up there. Fucking embarrassing…

    Edit: and I am 100%cool with paying taxes to feed someone else’s kid.
