Meanwhile, they literally get free lunch. It's some ridiculous stipend over $100 a day. Tax corporations and the 1%, no never. Starving children though, excellent idea. Can't get kick backs from a single parent who's struggling. Plus we can use the money we saved to give Uvalde another armored vehicle. That'll help the children. We are truly screwed.

Using public funds to help people? Not on the GOP's watch.

I am not American... But I have to say, this sounds just so comically evil it seems something only a badly written cartoon villain would say, like "I will kick all puppies and banish chocolate"
They get their votes by hurting people. It's what their base demands.
These chucklefucks always seem to choose the more expensive way of going about it in the name of saving taxpayers money. Abject morons.
Profits are priority over children being able to eat, right? Makes sense to me! /s
This is just plain cruel. But I think they know that.
For a lot of kids, especially those whose families struggle financially, the free school meal is what they have to eat that day, and this would take even that away.
Horrible.

Always think about the children, except when it's something that directly impacts the lives of children.
How anyone with any empathy could ever support these politicians is beyond me.
They don’t have empathy. They have been told it is a weakness since they were children.
