“Use SNAP benefits and get a job” -Jesus, apparently.
And thats because those "fat" children eat way more fast food than those that don't need the program because it's cheaper and quick. The parent(s) have to work more hours so they can't cook healthy meals as often nor have the income for the high price of groceries.
But Republican politicians don't have the hardware necessary upstairs to root cause issues logically, just acting on incorrect assumptions all around.
"no, you don't understand: if you're fat, it's because you're weak and deserve to starve."
-- the GOP
*she.
But yes to the Yikes.
They just used the "starving kids in Africa" excuse for the entire state
They are Christians - is this the choice Jesus would make?
"They are Christians?" -Jesus
"They are Christians? Jesus..." - Jesus
"They took my wheel..." -Jesus
I know that the 'Christian' choice would be to accuse Jesus of socialism for helping the poor for free.
The bread and fishes are for winners!
-Jesus
That's just a word of convenience for them.
"Fuck those little bastards, let them starve because poors aren't really people."
-Supply Side Jesus
But also:
What? You can't have an abortion! That baby's life is precious!
-Republican Jesus
Remember: The cruelty is the point.
2020 - S05E14 - The Kids Aren't Alright
Republican governors in 15 states are rejecting a new federally funded program to give food assistance to hungry children during the summer months, denying benefits to 8 million children across the country. The program is expected to serve 21 million youngsters starting around June, providing $2.5 billion in relief across the country. The governors have given varying reasons for refusing to take part, from the price tag to the fact that the final details of the plan have yet to be worked out. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) said she saw no need to add money to a program that helps food-insecure youths “when childhood obesity has become an epidemic.” Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen (R) said bluntly, “I don’t believe in welfare.” - TV-MA, 54 mins

There are a couple handful of Republican states that haven't taken advantage of the expanded medicaid help for poor people as well. Even though Federal funds pay 90% of the bill. Republican voters and Republican reps have such a BDSM relationship.
Every (R) is vile garbage.
Republicans, where the only children they give a shit about are the ones not born yet.
damn these stupid fucking Republicans just want to make more shit head people. red states are about to be nothing but lowest common denominator states and the sensible blue enclaves are going to have to deal with that special brand of extra-leaded kind of retard shooting up Schools, raping other kids, polluting the environment, voting Republican and going to church. Fucking no-no thing hicks forget who buys their shit from them and it's not broke ass rednecks.
