Moving beyond efforts to block expansion of health care for the poor and disabled, Republican governors in 15 states are now rejecting a new, federally funded summer program to give food assistance to hungry children.
The program is expected to serve 21 million youngsters starting around June, providing $2.5 billion in relief across the country.
It’s not a bad idea, but how do you let the people who qualify know how to apply? I ask because there are billboards about low income assistance programs for residents of Texas, but said billboards are in someplace like Maryland.
I can’t figure out how to find the article, but I remember them pulling this type of shit, and reading about it a few months ago.
If the government already knows they qualify they should just send them a check. Or, even better, a regular delivery of healthy food.
