Then instead of sarcasm, disprove that the republicans are not trying to defund WIC, a program designed to help single mothers and their children from hunger. What I posted fits right in to what the OP was discussing.My sarcasm was not directed at you. I read the article attached, and agree with what was written.
However, the very first post was a screed against Republicans, followed by another, never really addressing the real problems this country has, and that no one wants to discuss.
Blessings.
Ask the republicans who are trying to do away with free school lunches and WIC, which is contributing to child hunger.If Joe Biden's economy is so great, and everyone has "good paying jobs" how can all these children be without food?
Curious what did Trumps do to make you change jobs?I have no desire to go back to working at Wal-Mart like I had to under the previous occupant of the White House. Perhaps some people need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
Good question. I have worked through the Carter, Reagan, HW Bush, Clinton, GWB, Obama, Trump, and Biden adminstrations- None of them did anything to make me change jobs.Curious what did Trumps do to make you change jobs?
Curious, what happened lately?Not as much lately
NAFTA destroyed manufacturing in the USA. Do you think it was government policy, corporations or a combination of both?Bad trade deals have destroyed manufacturing in the US.
This administration reversed the previous ones efforts to revive manufacturing.Curious, what happened lately?

But you do know we are reshoring manufacturing? What was actually reversed in Trump manufacturing policy?This administration reversed the previous ones efforts to revive manufacturing.

When I saw this recently, I assumed it was fake or a parody, but no...I guess mothers and their children will be needing bootstraps because the republicans are actively trying to provide less for hungry mothers and their children.
Which profession were you in that was sent oversees? I know we lost textile (which my in-laws worked) in the 90s in El Paso because of NAFTA. Just curious.Job went to another country.

1 in 5 kids go without food in the US? I thought we had an obesity problem in the US with kids.
If you ask me we have a cultural problem in the US among the poor who aren't taking care of their kids and spending money on cigarettes, booze and drugs. Fathers who are not providing for the kids they create. I know quite a few poor parents who trade their food cards for cigarettes, booze or drugs. There is a ton of services for people. There is no excuse for kids not having enough food.
In fact the truth is they do have enough food. Among the poor they are the most obese. These kids are not going hungry. So can we please stop the kids are all starving and no one cares nonsense. They are not.
No we should NOT end all the welfare help the kids programs. So don't start that.
Classic denial and blame the kids, blame the parents and blame the heart. It makes it so much easier to say 'no more money for you' in the loudest tough love voice available.1 in 5 kids go without food in the US? I thought we had an obesity problem in the US with kids.

Refute the article with evidence instead of making assumptions Are you also one to think all homeless people are drug addicts?1 in 5 kids go without food in the US? I thought we had an obesity problem in the US with kids.

They are if they got fat before they got poor.However, obese children are not current food-insecure children
So what can we tell our politicians to do?Children have parents. Shouldn't that be the primary focus of why children are in poverty? I know it doesn't get the heart strings tugged, so most "research" fails to mention them
