States that participate in the federal program are required to cover half of the administrative costs, which would cost Nebraska an estimated $300,000. Advocates of the program note that the administrative cost is far outweighed by the $18 million benefit, which the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates would benefit 175,000 Nebraska children who might otherwise go hungry on some days during the summer.
Imagine being such a reprehensible monster that you’d let 175k children in your state starve rather than participate in a federal program that’d help feed them when school is out each summer. It’s unconscionable.
It’s unconscionable.
BUt… but… he doesn’t believe in welfare! how dare you intrude onto his lack of belief!
(/s. this guy can fuck off to the nether.)
I keep hearing that violence isn’t the answer but I swear it feels like… FOR LEGAL REASONS THIS IS SATIRE
No no no, violence can be the answer, depending on what the question is. Like this:
Historically, what happens when the poorest citizens of a nation have no food, no homes, and no hope for the future, because the rich are hording it all?
What are we supposed to do when our leaders and the wealthy (i.e., a small minority who holds all of the influence) have effectively declared war on the rest of us (i.e., almost everybody)?
REASONS THIS IS SATIRE
You reminded me of: https://youtu.be/eg3_kUaYFJA
This is what I think we should do. Also this is satire.
I had no idea he died
Yeah I know a real tragedy. Died trying suck his own dick. He will be missed.
So he graped himself in the mouth…
Violence isn’t the answer. It is a question and the answer is, ‘yes’.
Republicans get off on dead children. It’s as simple as that.
John Wayne Gacy would be proud.
Kinky.
It’s unconscionable
It’s conservative.
Remember, Republicans only care about fetuses. They don’t care about babies and kids.
The birthed children need to starve so they can be told they’re starving because of democrats.
Every farmer in that state receives welfare. Every fucking farmer benefits from agricultural subsidies.
The governor believes in federal welfare, just not welfare that directly benefits kids.
He doesn’t believe in welfare… I see. But what about this welfare?
Pork processor partially owned by Pillen gets $25 million federal grant
Or what about the time he got got $7.8M in pandemic loans and only paid back 2/3 of it. The rest was forgiven. What about the hundreds of thousands he takes every year in federal subsidies? He seems to like that kind of welfare.
Don’t look for any moral center for these crooks. As you’ve shown, they are complete and utter hypocrites. He condemns “welfare” because it gets him votes, while he gladly uses taxpayer money to fund himself and his wealthy campaign contributors. It’s the GOP long con.
“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” Projection as always…
“I don’t believe in welfare”
Feck off and stop accepting federal funding, you fucking welfare queen
I love the DON’T BELIEVE statements. I don’t believe in guns, yet they exist.
Fucker believes in welfare when it’s called corn subsidies.
Loophole: Poor people must change their name to corn
“Why are they Falling Away from Me?”
But he’s okay with PPP loans being forgiven and also gets USDA subsidies for Pillen Family farms. Source: https://projects.propublica.org/coronavirus/bailouts/search?q=Pillen&v=1 Source:https://farm.ewg.org/persondetail.php?custnumber=A09760551
Those entitled brats made a deal with the devil when they took the money. Greed got the better of them. It always does.
maybe if we called it a ‘subsidy’. ha
subsidies for very profitable corporations: a-ok ! tax cuts for people with more money than they could ever actually spend: you betcha! the welfare jobs program we call ‘the united states military’: ha, no reductons there, ever!
human beings who need to eat food: go fuck yourself
the lack of empathy in the republican party is so stark its hard to fathom.
Just need to get those little tykes their own LLCs and then they can have their lawyers file for federal aid!
They’d hate that too. Then GOP hates the word “subsidy” when it’s associated with something they don’t like. Example: subsidies for transitioning to green technology.
Maybe they need to frame it as a subsidy for grocery stores and large food businesses, it just takes a temporary detour though somebodies bank account to get to the intended recipient.
It’s also amusing that such a federal policy would actually help stimulate their economy because poor people are always forced to spend all their money but he’s too blind in his hatred for poor people that he can’t see the economic benefits to business in his state that it would bring. Business groups should be calling for his scalp too.
So no more federal funding for Nebraska??
If he doesn’t believe in welfare, surely he doesn’t believe in government aid or subsidies
That goes for every citizen of Nebraska, and if you don’t like it vote him out!
I’m tired of this fucking pissing contest between Republicans and people that care about others
33% of Nebraska’s operating budget comes from federal grants and funding.
Definition of a welfare state right there.
I would very much appreciate if a wonk can swing in and layout all the subsidies this guy/Nebraska benefit from.
So he is not a christian?
He is like Trump. He’ll pretend to be whatever you want to believe as long as you give him money. Then he’ll rape your kids.
And then quote the Bible afterwards and parents send the kids back for another round
Not before putting you on your knee for the utmost important expression of apologies and regret.
And give a tax break or something to some multi million <enter choice of currency here> business.

He’s Christian by name only. It’s not exactly a nice and tidy acronym but I call these types C.U.N.T.S.
Except to our farmers. Well subsidize the shit out of them.
Or even his “holy” rich supporters.

So… He wouldn’t mind if the government withholds any financial aid to the state from now on, right?
not like that!™
“I know the governor a little bit, and he seems to be a reasonable man. He’s a man who is compassionate in conversation,” Love said. “This is out of character. So, obviously, he’s not following his heart. He’s following his politics. He’s falling victim to political posturing, and there’s no excuse for that when it comes to children.”
No, he is not reasonable or compassionate. His actions speak louder than any words he uses sounding like reason or compassion.
It sounds like his friend thinks he’s virtue signaling. I thought they were supposed to be against that. /s
“Vice signaling”
The sadder part of this is that $40 can hardly feed anyone for a week, and that’s if you REALY stretch it on bulk rice and beans.
It’s worse than that.
It’s $40/month, and only for the 3 months of summer to make up for impoverished children not getting meals through school during the summer.
These people are ghouls.
And its only administrative costs: the federal government would be paying for the program. He doesn’t want to pay for someone to coordinate and do the paperwork for someone else to feed his state’s disadvantaged program. He doesn’t want to pay for someone to run a program to bring like 50 times the spending into his state
That would be a more interesting headline: Nebraska governor doesn’t want to pay 1 million to get children 50 million worth of federal food grant.
If you don’t believe in a problem, it simply goes away /s
So he pays for his campaign out of his own pocket? He doesn’t collect donations. Surely.
I bet he considers them investments.
Welfare is an investment too, however, and a damn good one.
But that requires you to recognize everyone’s life valuable.
“I don’t believe in welfare*.”
