Rep. Rich McCormick of Georgia said the freeze on federal aid would allow the government to review all programs, including ones that provide free school lunches to low-income children.
Yeah, it breaks my heart knowing for a lot of kids, these free school lunches or breakfasts are the only dependable meals they have. Feeding hungry kids is the kind of thing I want my taxes being used for. Suggesting kids need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get jobs if they want to eat is cartoonishly evil. They’re already working. School is their job.
I’ve spent my whole life hearing that the US is the greatest country in the world… but I guess I’m just not rich enough to have enjoyed any of those supposed benefits because they sure aren’t trickling down to us common folk.

No, the benefits are trickling down. After having been digested, but trickling down they are.
