Summary
The Trump administration cut over $1 billion in USDA funding for schools and food banks, citing shifting priorities.
The cuts impact programs supporting local farmers and feeding underserved communities, including the $660 million Local Food for Schools program and $420 million for food banks.
Governors in Massachusetts and Illinois criticized the move, calling it harmful to children, farmers, and food-insecure families.
The cuts, linked to Elon Musk’s cost-cutting DOGE initiative, sparked backlash as Congress considers further reductions to school meal programs.
Apparently, slashing their budgets to the tune of $660 million, will:
“…strengthen the food system for schools and childcare institutions…”
Do you guys think they realize just how full of shit they sound?
Do you actually think they do not know? We let them do it, that is all that matters.
I don’t, no. I do wonder how many pounds of cocaine a person has to snort to make a statement like that without vomiting from abject self-loathing in the process though.
This is some serious world class assholery.
They know and they don’t care. Their puppets will believe them bc they lack critical thinking skills.
I only realize they don’t give a shit about how they sound when it comes to constituents.
Its the tarriffs logic all over again. “paying 50% more for half our products will strengthen our economy”
