Good lord. It’s like they want to be cartoon villains or something.
In what fucking world is making sure kids get fed a bad thing?
*’Did someone say kids?!‘* – Matt Gaetz
Of course they do. Brains need calories, don’t want the kids growing up knowing how to think for themselves
Of **course** they do
> THE REPUBLICAN STUDY Committee is the largest ideological caucus in Congress, and for the past 51 years, it has served as a principle priority-setter for the party. The committee was chaired as recently as three years ago by House Speaker Mike Johnson. He and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise still sit on the Executive Committee, while Oklahoma Rep. Kevin Hern serves as chair. Its annual budget is not binding, but it does offer a useful window into conservatives’ policy priorities, which can best be summarized as accelerating the planet’s burning, an indifference to mass shootings, and actively threatening consumers and workers.
> On the environment — amid the hottest year recorded on Earth — the word “climate” appears 110 times and the word “environment” 53 times in the budget. Not one of those instances has anything to do with a positive Republican vision to address climate change or protect the environment. The RSC instead opposes the creation of a carbon tax and wants to give oil and gas companies deductions on costs like labor and safety, ramp up oil and gas projects on federal lands, and defund the Environmental Protection Agency.
> The Republicans also throw their weight behind bills like Virginia Rep. Bob Good’s “No American Climate Corps Act,” to stop federal funds from being used for the American Climate Corps — a revolutionary clean energy jobs program whose applications open next month. While millions of Americans have been surrounded by throat-scratching smog, livelihood-destroying wildfires, and relentless flooding and heat waves, the Republicans call to prohibit the use of emergency disaster or public health emergency declarations “from being used to address purported climate change.”
> On guns, Republicans call to undercut or block an array of gun regulations. For instance, the budget supports “defunding the constitutionally dubious red flag provisions in the so-called Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.” That law allocates $750 million to support ongoing state implementation of red-flag laws that remove firearms from individuals who are deemed a threat to themselves or others; it doesn’t force any state to do anything.
> On reproductive rights, Republicans call for the passage of an array of anti-choice bills, like Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles’s “Ending Chemical Abortions Act of 2023,” which would federally outlaw the use of abortion pills, and West Virginia Rep. Alex Mooney’s “Life at Conception Act,” which would designate embryos made through in vitro fertilization as being alive — even as many of the same Republicans have scrambled to claim they support IVF in the aftermath of a similar Alabama Supreme Court ruling that led multiple clinics to halt IVF procedures.
> Like every good Republican fiscal document, the RSC budget threatens changes to Social Security, including by raising the retirement age. Other Republican budget priorities include eliminating all future funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which provides aid to Palestinian refugees; prohibiting federal subsidies for high-speed rail; getting rid of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; reducing funding for the famously under-supported Occupational Safety and Health Administration; and eliminating the National Labor Relations Board, which, under President Joe Biden, has done much to protect workers’ right to organize.
> Not to be confused as completely frugal, the Republicans call to finish construction of border wall projects proposed by former President Donald Trump. And not to be confused as focused, the budget includes the word “woke” 37 times.
> “As in previous years,” the Republicans say about their master plan, “the RSC budget also celebrates the work of House conservatives who have fought for legislation that preserves American values, combats Biden’s woke and weaponized government, and protects the freedoms that should be enjoyed by every American.”
Holy shit.
We pass an $800B+ annual defense budget with barely a discussion but this is the hill Republicans choose to make their stand on when it comes to spending.
Fuck hungry children right guys
Up next, Republicans to make puppy kicking mandatory!
some shameful shit
Republicans are like; if we or our lobbyists can’t profit from it, then it’s useless. Get rid of it.
“Pro-life” my ass.
Trillions of dollars for the Pentagon and subsidies for their corporate buddies, but “fiscal sanity” means begrudging poor children the few farthings we deign to lob at them.
I think sometimes they just suggest these things to distract from the fact that this is a rich country and that it should be outrageous to even propose such a thing. This is a pure consequence of favoring the wealthy over society.
Are there any republican voters in here that would care to explain and defend this?
Fuck em! -republicans probably
Again, and again, and again: The cruelty is the point. Sick freaks would likely *love* to watch a child starve to death like the buzzards they are. They’d thump a Bible they don’t read or observe while the child’s internal organs shut down one-by-one, too.
The cruelty is the point.
Hungry kids are less likely to develop strong critical thinking, ergo easier to control for life. Tyranny 101
The can say no to poor kids, but not to rich Trump
“Pro-life” only until they’re born. Then “screw ’em”. Free lunch, daycare, health care, good schools, after school activities, higher education. “Screw ’em”…
House Republican’s hate kids the moment that they’re out of the womb.
“We gotta ban abortion so we can watch kids go hungry”
How Christian of them
He Gets Us.
Just feed the fucking kids when they’re at school. This is ridiculous. I don’t even have kids but this is basic fucking decency. It’s not any of those kid’s fault that they don’t have ready access to appropriate nutrition.
I’d rather see all these kids eat than send a single dollar in subsidies anywhere.
It’s the republicans way of saying, if you don’t have, you don’t get
This party of freedom sure does love banning shit.
This does not, in fact, save the children
We KNOW who republicans are. They are the party that wants to starve children.
This is the next phase of their plan. First you have to ensure they’re born, so you over turn RvW. Then you have to ensure their families stay in debt with no healthcare or child care. Then you have to ensure they can’t grow their brains properly by ensuring they start struggling and hungry. And finally, you strip away working conditioned restrictions on everything to do with kids, so they leave school early to work and not smarten up. All the while trying to convince them it’s an immigrants fault so they feel better about hating the wrong person.
“YOU MUST HAVE YOUR BABY so it can grow up hungry, uneducated, and subservient. No worries, it will probably be gunned down or imprisoned but if not it will serve as a great wage slave or cannon fodder.”.
-Republican logic
Nothing quite as Christian as telling poor people to fuck off and starve. I just saw another post that republicans rejected it for school children but voted to give themselves more meal reimbursements.
You can’t make it up. These people would take food from a childs mouth and give it to ceo of a rich corporation just to get a seat on the table
Yeah fuck those kids (some conservative, probably)
So let’s review.
Fuck women: national 15 week abortion ban.
Fuck children: ban on feeding hungry children
Fuck the elderly: cuts to social security
Fuck the sick: plans to fully privatize Medicare and Medicaid
Fuck the poor: cuts to food stamps.
But tax cuts for the wealthy and state money to churches.
That’s the modern GOP.
i need a very patient person to explain to me why any blue-collar american voters support these animals
Republicans = sadistic Nazis
Of course they do, it’s a way to punish single moms
What kinda piece of shit do you have to be get behind taking food away from children?
Because that way they can turn around and blame the consequences on democrats because the average republican is an idiot
This is why I will never forgive ANY republicans. This isn’t just trump or MAGA.
Every Republican participates in this. This is sadistic evil for the sake of it. Every Republican voter is morally depraved — ALL OF THEM.
I just…as the article points out, the “fraud” is food. It’s *food.* You can’t even claim they’re somehow reselling it like they do with SNAP and soda. It’s just fucking food! For children! What death cult madness even drives someone to use the word “fraud” there?
House republicans want to ban anything that helps those less fortunate, nothing new.
Also Republicans: *We shouldn’t be spending money defending Ukraine when we could be spending it helping Americans at home.*
Just cartoonishly villainous gutter trash from top to bottom, front to back.
They’re going to sell this as “But think about that one kid whose parent is the mayor?! They don’t deserve free lunch” and people who can’t stand to think for themselves will agree.
Majority of tax payers don’t mind our taxes going to feed kids at school. I don’t give a damn if thier dad was Jeff Bezos, they deserve to be a kid and enjoy lunch with the rest of thier classmates without worrying about forgetting money/packed lunch at home.
Republicans piss me off because they act like the only way to balance the checkbook is by decreasing spending ignoring the fact they could just tax businesses and wealth (not just income) properly instead. But of course it’s easier for them to fucking ruin lunch for KIDS rather than be decent human beings.
Because it hurts non-white kids. Doesn’t matter if it hurts MORE rural white kids, they know those kids’ parents will still vote Republican. They’re willing to make this sacrifice.
republicans only care about a “child” when it’s still in the womb
But it’s ok for homeschoolers to have their lunches paid for ? The voucher money given to “homeschool” pays for breakfast lunches and dinners for families if you have multiple kids it pays for trips to Disneyland.
I feel like this should be a bigger deal. Dems need to go on the offensive.
“Republicans will force you to have babies and take away programs to help you feed them.”
