Moving beyond efforts to block expansion of health care for the poor and disabled, Republican governors in 15 states are now rejecting a new, federally funded summer program to give food assistance to hungry children.

The program is expected to serve 21 million youngsters starting around June, providing $2.5 billion in relief across the country.

    But hunger saves money. And that hunger feeds character. And strong character + malnourishment = strong workforce

    Why have personally motivated workers who are healthy enough to have good attendance when you can instead have people die on the job? Then you can use their bones to feed the capitalism machine!

    See? Everybody wins!

    Well, the poors don’t win, but they’re not people because the capitalism machine doesn’t eat people, only bones. Greg over in printshop made a sign and everything. It says “Don’t worry, I don’t eat people! Keep hands and loose clothing away at all times.”

      Greg better have paid for that himself or he’s getting fired for misuse of company resources.

          Yeah, fuck Tom! Dude slept with my wife and never called her back and she’s beginning to think he didn’t mean it when he said he liked her. No one sleeps with my wife and doesn’t call her back! No one…
