Nebraska governor again rejects giving kids from low-income families $40 per month for food: 'I don't believe in welfare'
The sadder part of this is that $40 can hardly feed anyone for a week, and that's if you REALY stretch it on bulk rice and beans.
It's worse than that.
It's $40/month, and only for the 3 months of summer to make up for impoverished children not getting meals through school during the summer.
These people are ghouls.
And its only administrative costs: the federal government would be paying for the program. He doesn’t want to pay for someone to coordinate and do the paperwork for someone else to feed his state’s disadvantaged program. He doesn’t want to pay for someone to run a program to bring like 50 times the spending into his state
That would be a more interesting headline: Nebraska governor doesn't want to pay 1 million to get children 50 million worth of federal food grant.
