Nebraska’s governor is standing firm on his plans to reject $18 million in federal funding to help feed children who might otherwise go hungry while school is out.
Yeah, I get that. Though I doubt undernourished children and most of their parents (some people are truly terrible, so I would not be surprised if there are some cheering on their own children being denied federal funds for food) are cheering it on.
I guarantee there are families all over this state who will say, “government never helped me” while driving their farm truck (which they could afford through farming subsidies) full of untaxed farm fuel down their freshly plowed street.
There’s also a large susset that will continue to vote for Republicans because those Republicans convince them that the government can’t help them. They never put together that the Republicans they keep electing are the reason.
He’s representing the majority of his state. They’re the ones that enable him to do this. He’s not doing it out of thin air.
They’re cheering this on, not opposing it.
