Don’t forget that O’Bama flushed a half billion of the people’s money on a failed solar company.

The company was working fine until Obama pushed the loan on them. Obama made them grow faster than they were capable of supporting and they failed under the weight of all the added infrastructure.

not saying they would have survived without the loans, but it wasn't a failed company before the loans.

I posted that for statistics, not for anything to do with donating to them.

How many thousands of kids are dying of starvation in the summer

Oh, they're poor or black, so who cares, right?

Plenty of people in here grew up with plenty and it shows. I'm not sure y'all realize the lengths that the government, churches, and food banks go to keep kids fed. The amount of federal spending in Summer programs for food.

It's absolutely freaking wild that we are in 2024 with people complaining at we don't need to provide food because these families have enough to not be dead.

But hey, toss a couple bucks in the plate Sunday so you can feel good about that one trip some of the Youth Group took to Africa to fake build a church or school that totally wasn't just a big fun safaril

Nah, I get it. You think feeding the poor (who contribute nothing) is a waste of money because Churches can just ....get more money...to feed them?

Like I said earlier, you need to learn to read (without all your emotional outburst).

But can the poor not contribute something? Anything? Are they incapable of public service work? Or is that beneath someone who is getting a handout from the taxpayers? I understand that you wouldn't want to insult their feelings by having them work for what they get and all.

I guess I don't equate poor with incapable like you apparently do.

It is awe inspiring, the lengths you will go to misrepresent arguments.

No one is saying that hungry kids should go hungry. Just a belief that there are more efficient ways of feeding them. We've been clear on this, yet you still misrepresent it.
No one brought race into it, except you.
You've completely ignored the points that people would have more $ to be charitable if the gov't was taxing them less. It's literally by definition true, but again, you ignore it so you can beat that drum.
You mock the demonstrably true ways that churches and citizens already serve the less fortunate, just so you can beat that drum.

He/she can read. He/she would just have no argument if the debate was represented truly.

You have proven incapable of understanding the points being made. No one is saying we want kids to starve or there aren't those in need. We are saying that it can be done far more effectively and efficiently at the local level. Not the fed level. But keep tossing out dumb argument and implying people are racsit like you just did to me. The moment you start screeching racism, or the overly used "won't someone think of the childre" hand ringing, is how you know you lost an argument

The moment ANY leftist throws out 'racist' or 'misogynist' or 'bigot', they have lost the argument.

Just imagine if we spent all of that money educating kids and breaking the cycle of dependency instead of reinforcing it.

Not sure what your link proved, other than the fact that school lunches aren’t fixing the problem. If you actually follow the links back in time, it seems to show that “food insecurity” as measured by the amazingly accurate scientific method known as a “survey” has only gotten worse over the past 20+ years.

Despite the expansion of school lunch programs.

Even more interestingly is that the entire survey is a joke. What you’re tryin to claim represents “hungry kids” are families who responded that they felt they couldn’t always afford “balanced meals”. So the kid may have had their fill of Chef Boyardee but because mom felt she couldn’t afford a salad too, you’re now going to lie and proclaim that’s a “hungry child”?

Luckily, kids can get "free" handouts of Heinz ketchup at school so they have vegetables in their balanced government-provided diet.

Nah, I'm just sick of the idea that feeding children is "government waste" and that they're not LITERALLY DYING, so they must have plenty of food because someone saw some welfare queen buying candy or trading for weed with their EBT.
