Just what we need: children with their own EBT cards. Start them early, the government says. From CNSNews.com:

With a record 101 million Americans receiving food aid from the federal government, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) wants more kids to be on dole for food during the summer months.
Why stop there? Why just the summer?
“As part of its ongoing commitment to improving access to healthy food for low income children, USDA has set a goal of serving 5 million more meals to eligible children this summer,” the agency said on Aug. 1.
One of the ways the government will achieve this aim is by giving children subsidies on EBT cards. The USDA released an evaluation report on testing “new methods” to provide food to children in the summer, specifically through the Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer for Children (SEBTC) program.
“As part of its efforts to end child hunger, [the Food and Nutrition Service] FNS is studying alternative approaches to providing food assistance to children in the summer months,” the USDA said.
Last summer, 66,772 children received subsidies via an EBT card from the program, which was run in eight states and two Indian tribes. Eligible households received up to $60 per month, per child.
Excellent. Let’s get children into the habit of relying, absolutely, on the federal government.
Why is it that you can’t lawfully feed bears in federal reserves and parks? That’s right, because it would tend to create dependence and remove the bear’s ability to hunt for its own food.

The damned leftist fucktards are driving me berserk!! Ya CAN’T feed bears cause it’ll make them dependent on humans for food, but you HAVE to give humans free food because you WANT them to be dependent. Ya CAN’T go around killing and torturing whales, snail garters, those little smelts in fornacalia, or any other animals, but it’s PERFECTLY A OK to kill human babies. If fact, it’s the preferred method of birth control for many of them.
I just don’t get it!! All I can hope for is that so many fucktards have abortions that eventually they end up extinct!! NO, that does NOT make me a racist! I hope that ALL of them of ALL colors go extinct!
Almost forgot—nice soothing background. Not soothing enough though I guess. I’m still steaming over all of todays news.
I keep a folder of my background images. I’ll retitle that one “Insufficiently Soothing.” ;^)

Many reports a lot of the food gets tossed into garbage cans. At the risk of sounding like an old fossil, when I was a kid you damn well ate everything on your plate. Those lunch room ladies were tougher than a lot of parents.
You don’t appreciate what you don’t earn. At some level, your self respect is diminished. One good model is the Church of Latter Day Saints welfare program. Any member in need gets help but is expected to do work for it. The church leaders will find something for the person to do.
The Michelle Obama “healthy lunch” program for kids is tanking at an unprecedented rate, leaving much food uneaten and children hungry.
And yes: you do NOT appreciate what you do not earn.

Creeping communism is all it is. Soon will come a day when the gov’t says your house is too big for you and you need to share it. HUD already has a new rule to assess diversity in every neighborhood and if it finds discriminatory problems, will take steps to correct them.
Where is the gobmint finding all the money for these things? I would think the printing presses are just about worn out…
America WAKE UP and recognize the Judas goats leading you to the slaughter of your liberties…
People make comments all over the place but no one gets out in the streets…
More and more I get this sinking feeling that maybe it’s just too damned late…..
If the little shits are really hungry, great, help them out, feed them…
Then give them a shovel, a rake, a broom, a mop, something… Put em to work and let them EARN that meal…
Earn what you eat, now there’s a novel idea…
They refuse to eat what is served, because it’s healthy stuff, $300K a year in additional losses to some school systems, so now give them an EBT so they can go buy junk??? WTF??? And yeah, training them is right!!! PATHETIC!
Is there much of anything left that makes any semblance of sense?
