The Republican Study Committeeās annual budget also calls to permanently defund UNRWA and eliminate the National Labor Relations Board.
On Wednesday, theĀ Republican Study Committee, of which some three-quarters of House Republicans are members, released its 2025 budget entitled āFiscal Sanity to Save America.ā Tucked away in the 180-page austerity manifesto is a block of text concerned with a crucial priority for the party: ensuring children arenāt being fed at school.
Eight states offer all students, regardless of household income, free school meals ā and more states are trending in the direction. But while people across the country move to feed school children, congressional Republicans are looking to stop the cause.
The budget āĀ co-signed by more than 170 House Republicans āĀ calls to eliminate āthe Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) from the School Lunch Program.ā The CEP, the Republicans note, āallows certain schools to provide free school lunches regardless of the individual eligibility of each student.ā
āAdditionally,ā the Republicans continue, āthe RSC Budget would limit spending in the program to truly needy households.ā
Isnāt it funny how any proposal that would harm the interests of seniors is a third rail in US politics, but they can willingly fuck over our children?
Children donāt vote, and parents of children that canāt afford to pay for school lunches canāt donate, or find the hours needed to vote during a work day.
Well-fed children get a better education. Educated adults are less likely to vote Republican
America eats its young.
