    Aight, cool, but that doesn’t change that this comment section is operation on the assumption that you’re dealing with people who understand that and literally enjoy making children starve. This sort of characterization is rampant in politics and a total anathema to actual discussion or ever getting anything done.

      Given that other Republican proposals involve keeping child marriage legal and opening child labor laws back up so that kids can work dangerous jobs without the companies involved being liable for their safety, it’s not a huge leap from “Republicans want to cut free school meals” to “Republicans want kids to starve.”

      Maybe it’s a not a 100% real leap, but it’s one that the Republicans have set themselves up for.
