Do tell how those locked down children are getting to those designated schools. There are no school buses taking them to dine anywhere. Are they walking? How is this magic happening. Show me the schools that were prepared for remote eating. More magic? School systems completely unprepared for remote learning, with children too poor to eat and obviously too poor to own computers at home, magically remote feeding those same children. Yup, SNAP is the answer.
What is criminal, is using the image of hungry children to avoid facing up to a question you are afraid to answer. You can't blame Trump for your own BS.
Don't dare tell me what I want, because you don't have clue as to what you want. Woe, the starving children. BS.
The self appointed expert advocacy groups in this country claim 1 out of every 5 children live "food insecure" lives, meaning they struggle with hunger and malnutrition in the course of a year. Got to love that phrase "food insecure." Kind of like using redneck as an excuse for bigotry, even tho using the word redneck is bigoted. That translates as 20% of American children. Yet, less than 12% of Americans live in poverty. The numbers don't jive. Now, of course, we can have kids from rich families who are malnourished, eating all the wrong foods, and that is included in that phrase "food insecure." Plumps up the "food insecure" numbers, along with the reality that so many children are obese. Obese starving children. More Magic.
How can there be starvation in this country when we waste as a nation approximately 80 billion pounds of food which equates to more than $161 billion annually, approximately 219 pounds of waste per person and 30-40 percent of the US food supply? And right now, with the claim that farmers and ranchers are destroying livestock, and harvest because meat processing plants are partly shut down because of Covid 19, even more waste. Mind boggling, isn't it? And nobody wants government cheese.
Let me clue you in. There are no starving Americans. No starving American children. There are malnourished people, including children, but not because they can't get enough to eat. SNAP reductions may cause some problems for some people, but they are not likely to significantly increase the numbers of malnourished children. And I agree, no child should go to bed hungry, or malnourished, but you have no answers to the problems, just political slogans and BS. Trump isn't the excuse or the villain in this story that you claim him to be. That is merely your partisan crap at work. I'm not excusing him, but he is not responsible for the systemic problems of this nation that have existed under every administration. "A chicken in every pot." A promise from one of out greatest presidents. Never fulfilled. "We will build a Great Society." Another unfulfilled promise to eliminate poverty by a great domestic president who was overshadowed by the horrors of an insane war. What ya gonna do?
The best intentions cannot eliminate poverty and all that goes with it. That doesn't mean we surrender to it, but that we must recognize political partisanship and slogans offer no solutions. We are a can do nation. We must show with real life actions what we can do. And merely throwing money at a problem doesn't resolve that problem. We need better answers for all of us.
No more straw man arguments from you. No more acceptable avoidance of questions posed. No more emotional and sentimental appeals will be tolerated. And if I had realistic answers to these problems, I'd be shouting them from rooftops.
