meanwhile in reality, it's republicans who are gutting social security, school meals, food stamps, medicaid, while cutting taxes for corporations and billionaires, and opposing minimum wage... all since long before russia invaded ukraine...
to act like people struggling for food in the richest nation of the planet is a result of military aid to ukraine, and not that of late stage capitalism, pushed by corporate puppets disguised as lawmakers, is highly disingenuous, and laughably ignorant...
Democrats just gutted school meals in Minnesota. They took a program reserved for the needy, with means-tested benefits, and gave it to the
wealthy. Now poor kids share the same pool of resources set aside for school lunches as the rich. What happens when the rich literally eat their lunch? Poor kids go hungry. All they did was take a program for the poor and give it to the rich.
If Republicans had gone and said most WIC and EBT benefits should be reserved for upper middle class families who own two homes and a mercedes, you'd be denouncing it as corporate puppets stealing food from the struggling masses.
