Republicans and the right wing in general are happiest when they can cause others to suffer.
I suspect it’s about killing off the undesirables and forcing the remainder to work.
Let’s not forget priming a number of the remaining for inflating the prison population.
… which is the same as “forcing the remainder to work” come to think.
They’re probably running numbers for potential prisoners, profits and bribes as we speak.
We’re now seeing red states refusing federal aid because 1) it shows the federal government isn’t the demon they make it out to be and 2) if they don’t accept federal funds, they don’t have to accept federal stipulations like “you can’t not give this to poor gay children” and “Black children deserve to eat too.”
Dark times are ahead.
The problem here is that the federal government didn’t provide the framework and services for states to use this federal aid - it’s up to the states to each create the new infrastructure and data collection/reporting services themselves. That’s a backwards arse way of doing it. The federal government should have created the necessary services and given the states access.
But that would be “communism”!
Are there federal bodies or third parties that can assist in these measures? Just because the state is fucked and run by terrorists, shouldn’t mean that someone can’t step up and help. I knows it’s not that easy geographically, but every little bit helps.
just because you disagree with someone, there’s no reason to refer to them as terrorists. having a sound fiscal policy isnt terrorism, after all.
They are self proclaimed terrorists. Also, withholding funding so that children starve is pretty fucked up and calling them terrorists is gentle compared to what they deserve. That’s not sound fiscal responsibility, that evil incarnate. Defense of that view is completely fucked as well, terrorist.
someone’s salty
You could say that. Most reasonable people think starving children and domestic terrorism is something to be upset about. It appears you are not a reasonable person, terrorist.
seems to me that it’s the parents direct responsibility to feed/shelter their progeny - but sure, let’s blame the evil state govt
you folks are literally brainsick
You’re the one advocating for starving children, terrorist, you’re the brainsick one.
wow, you’re like Dr. Sbaitso with a learning disability
If you read the article it has nothing to do with “the state being run by terrorists” - it’s that they don’t have the infrastructure and data collection necessary to do it. They have pledged that they will focus on getting it implemented so they can do it.
McGowin pledged that going forward the state will “focus on implementing the system changes necessary to facilitate participation in summer EBT programs in future years.”
But for Missouri to participate in next year’s program, “the state’s data collection systems need to be addressed well in advance,” McGowin said.
“The current P-EBT programs have required data to be collected from schools that DESE does not normally collect,” she said. “We must then address how the data can be most efficiently and effectively shared with DSS, and shared in a way that more seamlessly integrates with DSS’ benefit administration systems.”
Woody said the state’s pledge to make changes to better operate the program in future years is “the only bright spot.”
Maybe the federal government should be the ones building these data collection services so that the states simply have to opt-in and use the government created facilities?

Missouri is the Mississippi of the Midwest.
thought that was ohio
That’s because nobody wants to work in administration for less than $25 per hour which the state can’t pay without raising ever bodies taxes that no one wants to pay!
TANSTAAFL. (look it up)
