Governors all over the country are opting out of a federal summer food program for needy children. It is mind-boggling to me that States would say “Nah, no thanks” when we are talking about $40 a month to help feed a hungry child. These are the same forces in America that have no problem giving multi billion dollar subsidies to huge corporations. And the bigger irony? They often call themselves “pro-life.”
Gov. Tate Reeves’ office says Mississippi won’t participate in a federal summer food program for children because of his desire to reject “attempts to expand the welfare state” mississippitoday.org/2024/01…

Denying benefits to children is stupid and self defeating. @tatereeves should skip some meals so the children in hos state can eat. He could lose some weight so it would benefit him anyways

Why are PARENTS of the children not feeding their kids?? Especially if they receive welfare & SNAP food benefits... why are the PARENTS not using those funds to feed their kids? Feeding your kids is a parental PRIORITY. Perhaps the parents need to be charged with child neglect

The word "federal" is likely the problem. Many States electing to exercise their Constitutional rights & authority to care 4 their constituents themselves, with State and local community and Faith based resources. Why add more bureaucracy, waste, and lost transparency?

Watched debate And again All was GREAT! I think that most watchers intuitively know "the mindful heart" candidate, and the candidate who's EGO reflected the same! Kinda like most of us KNOW the heart message this Governer is trying to infuse into our MINDS! MW FOR POTUS !

There are no starving children in America. If children are starving it’s from neglect.
