  1. I’m sure if some of Governor Reynolds’ donors find a way to profit off of the summer food program, she’ll opt back in.

  2. from a linked article

    ​

    >“No child should go hungry, least of all in Iowa, but the Summer EBT Program fails to address the barriers that exist to healthy and nutritional foods. Iowa’s kids need consistent access to nutritionally dense food, and their families need to feel supported to make healthy choices around food and nutrition. Another benefit card addressed to children is not the way to take on this issue,” said HHS Director Kelly Garcia.

    They keep saying ‘this doesn’t provide a permanent solution’: so what?

  3. Republicans can’t be happy eating a meal unless they know a someone else (a child) is starving.

  4. I’m genuinely curious as to what Iowans thibk about this. It’s not as though the program no longer exists, but is literally just blocked by a bonehead.

  5. I mean… it’s a farm subsidy. She’s turning down farm subsidies because it might result in poor people getting food. I don’t get it, but Iowa must be against farm subsidies now?

  6. And it will do nothing but increase her popularity in her deplorable state, where they will blame Biden.

  7. Republicans always find a way to lower the bar. True scum

  8. Nothing says pro life like keeping the kids hungry so they can’t learn.

  9. If these kids want to eat, they need to get out and get a job.

    After all, we’re changing child labor laws to benefit these ungrateful little bastards.

  10. Didn’t Iowa lawmakers also vote to increase their own meal reimbursements?

  11. Iowa, you reap what you sow. Want better? Elect better. Not a single shred of sympathy for you.

  12. I am thankful these cretins keep giving us reasons to vote them out of office

  13. Nebraska and Iowa, racing to the bottom. Trying to keep up with Texas.

  14. Check that desicated bag of shit’s closet for a Dalmatian coat.

  15. Someone needs to starve her for three days and see if her attitude changes.

  16. Republicans are evil and they delight in human suffering.

  17. Must keep fetuses alive, but must starve them after they are born

  18. My kid’s school gets free breakfast and lunch.

    Red states just don’t give a fuck. Moving to a blue state was truly like moving to a more developed country.
