The governors have given varying reasons for refusing to take part, from the price tag to the fact that the final details of the plan have yet to be worked out. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds ( R) said she saw no need to add money to a program that helps food-insecure youths “when childhood obesity has become an epidemic.” Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen ( R) said bluntly, “I don’t believe in welfare.”
unpopular opinion: it’s not the states responsibility to pay for people’s children. if you think otherwise donate your money to non-profit charities that do what you believe in.
From the preamble to the Constitution of the USA:
I think any one of the bolded items could be reasonably interpreted to include “make sure kids have food”. You are of course free to disagree but that seems pretty disingenuous to me.
A lot of people in the US really hate founding principles of the US. Which is fine, but they should really own up to it.
First off, it’s a federal funded program
Second, most of already donate taxes to our state
That’s not just an unpopular opinion, it’s objectively stupid and shortsighted. By allowing children to be malnourished, all you’re accomplishing is making them less productive adults and costing society more.
Your cargo-cult fiscal conservative argument is bad and you should feel bad.
charities are good and all but they are not a viable substitute for a working civilized society.
