Media claims everything better under Biden

[Lastamender]

After they are arrested? There's another false term you just used. Illegals, arrested. Who you get your fake news from?

It is not fake news. The murderer of Laken Riley was arrested and released in NYC.

Biden's fault.

Thanks to a government funding bill Congress passed in December 2022, the program will become permanent. The USDA says the program could potentially reduce the number of children experiencing very low food security by about one-third. More than 21 million kids will benefit once it launches in June.

The problem, though, is that so far, only 35 states, five U.S. territories, and four tribes plan to participate.

15 Republican governors have said that they will turn down federal money to feed low-income children.

Some have given reasons, dumb as they may sound. Like Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, who said she saw no need for the extra money for hungry kids “when childhood obesity has become an epidemic.”

“I don’t believe in welfare,” Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen explained when asked why he rejected the money.
Pillen ultimately changed his mind after Nebraska state Sen. Jen Day, a Democrat, introduced a bill to require participation and found a Republican ally as well as a swell of support from voters in rural areas.

What I don’t understand is why such efforts have not been replicated for the holdout states: Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont and Wyoming.
I can understand why the issue hasn’t been nationalized. Much of the mainstream news is managed by detached rich people who could care less about the poor when stoking viewers’ fears about crime is better for business. But that means it is incumbent on Democrats to make it an issue.

The program did not exist until covid. Covid is no longer affecting children recieving nutrition at school. Children were not starving before covid. Why do we still have the program?

We still have poverty. And with inflation, people are really really fucked. Poor people the most.

Biden's fault.

It sure is. Has his DOJ done anything about DAs letting these criminals out after arrests? And not cooperating with ICE.

Well then perhaps the dems shouldn't have passed that "last" stimulus that fueled INFLATION and probably doomed us to trump, again.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Key factors: crime, government deficit, unemployment, GDP growth, inflation, nonadjudicated immigration.
Time period: 2020, 2024.

So which is worse, which is better?

Inflation is over. Prices to the producers have come down. They just haven't lowered their prices.

You know who can stop this? You. Stop buying regardless of the price. Then you'll see the prices come down.

So you will be voting for Trump.

 

[sealybobo]

No

Then the price won't come down if you won't stop buying. You'll just not save enough to retire and go into debt. I can't help losers. There are winners (me and Trump and Gore) and then there's losers like you.

I think what I said answered your question.

No it didn't.

A local issue that has nothing to do with the Federal election.

- my property taxes

A local issue that has nothing to do with the Federal election.

- my electric bill!!

All this foolishness is liberals- trying to. * save face*

You seem pretty foolish with your responses so far.

Please leave then.

So I guess I will answer:
Federal Deficit is lower. It needs to be much lower than it is, but it is lower.
