Well that didn’t come out right. I asked who hates her current decision that also would hate if she took the money?
Another ridiculous decision

yes kids should go hungry so you can teach the few welfare fraudsters a lesson. Good plan.
According to Iowa’s Governor extraordinaire, Iowa has a $2B dollar budget surplus...so the “$2M” investment in food for poors would seem to be a no brainer...wouldn’t it, Rico?
4 pages in and still so very many have yet to read the article.
But the lefties have their propaganda down well.
But the lefties have their propaganda down well.
We read the article and explanation and it makes no sense. You just keep posting the same thing and ignoring what people tell you because you're Team Dum****
But please keep just posting the same thing over and over and over and over instead of articulating in your own words why you think its good kids go hungry for $2.2 million. Someone so well read as you, should be able to do that instead of just repeating the same thing over and over and over and over without any direction for us feeble minded folks.
Having lived in Missouri now for nearly 25 years, watching it turn from bellwether state to deep red idiocy, I used to take pride in my Iowa upbringing and Iowa roots; bragging about It's practicality, progressive thinking, incredible education system, and work ethic. These days, when lamenting how foolish Missouri looks, I can only respond that “yeah, I know how you feel; Iowa has turned into MAGAstan, too.”
I don't know how she sleeps at night
“This is an unconscionable decision,” said Iowa Hunger Coalition board chair Luke Elzinga. “Announcing three days before Christmas that we’ve deliberately chosen not to feed hungry kids? The Dickensian parallels write themselves.”
“The idea that low-income Iowans can’t be trusted to make their own choices about what to feed their kids is incredibly insulting,” said Elzinga. “We’ve somehow decided that parents know best when it comes to school curriculum but not what to feed their kids? Starvation is not a legitimate strategy to reduce childhood obesity.”
“An abundance of academic research has made clear the link between food insecurity and obesity in the United States,” said Elzinga. “Gov. Reynolds and Dir. Garcia are either woefully uninformed on this issue, or are using childhood obesity as a distraction from the failures of their administration to address hunger and food insecurity. Their press release praises the fact that enrollment in SNAP is at a 15-year low in Iowa, but when we have food banks and food pantries across the state assisting record-breaking numbers of people, that should be worn as a mark of shame, not a badge of honor.”

Yes. Like I said earlier, if this was about obesity, Kim would use some of our surplus to provide fresh fruit and vegetables for kids. Two things in short supply at food banks. Two things in season during the summer. But she didn’t do that because this isn’t about obesity. She trusts Iowans to do the right thing except apparently pick food for their children.
And you can spare us with pretending that would be a program you would support. We know you and Kimmie don’t give two shits about poor Iowans or kids.
You sure about that birch?
Minnesota becomes fourth state to offer universal free school meals
How refreshing from this State. Starting this fall, students at Minnesota schools will get free meals regardless of their ability to pay. A bill signed into law Friday, March 17, by Gov. Tim Walz provides more than $800 million in funding for school lunches and breakfasts over the next four...

The money Iowa would have to kick in is better spent on school vouchers!
You mean like the guidelines before that said no meat, cheese, canned soup or veggies, or even flour?
You guys are propagandists.

I'm glad they do this. But kids eat around the clock and the meals are only available for an hour and a half each day, not available on weekends, and must be eaten on site. What about the other 23 1/2 hours each day or if kids can't eat there?You guys are propagandists.

Speaking about Christmas related things does the trailer park you live in hold a Christmas Day Parade?
I've heard Florida is famous for those in the mobile home communities most of you live in.
Face it. You guys hate the governor and you'll turn every decision she makes into some sort of evil plot.
You're not good people. It's as simple as that.
You're not good people. It's as simple as that.
Wait, I thought you had no issue with with this program. Liar.
I admit I hate the governor but it's because of heartless, hateful decisions like this. She says one thing but does another. I don't need to do anything to her decisions. They scream her priorities loud and clear.
Everybody agrees that junk food should be off limits. So what's the new excuse now that we have this out of the way?
Face it. You’re a fake and a fvcking disgrace to man.
Gotta love how the cons are sooooo intent on this “healthy food” gig when they were absolutely apoplectic over Michele Obama’s healthy school lunch initiative.
Oh here we go again...
That story about you discussing something with the Governor and later feeling slighted because of her decision...blah, blah, blah...
If only it was that one decision. No, it's the time after time she's screwed over Iowans while claiming otherwise. I know she can do no wrong in your eyes but lots of people don't agree with you.
Wrong birch.
That was about school lunches.
Handing out EBT cards is a completely different thing.

Oh, you noticed that, too, huh? Northern will scold you for not reading the article soon enough.
My guess is she slips into unconsciousness as the wine glass falls out of her hand.
Listen, you're the one who quoted your own post in an effort to prove me wrong when I said you wouldn't support this program.
Yes, Iowa is apparently filled with a lot of fake ass bitches.
Free school lunches and EBT cards are not the same thing. You pretending they're the same doesn't make it so.
