Vote em out! not voting is complacency. Not voting is showing that this is acceptable.
I'm not saying voting is the only action needed, but it is an absolute bear minimum.

I am not American... But I have to say, this sounds just so comically evil it seems something only a badly written cartoon villain would say, like "I will kick all puppies and banish chocolate"
They get their votes by hurting people. It's what their base demands.
Pure cruelty. Our taxes ment to be used to help people and this means more then paving roads (which in the US isn't done). I'm sick of this idea the government needs to cut spending but then they just cut social programs that is the whole point of having a government.....
They could cut military spending by like 2% and fix a whole lotta issues.

Using public funds to help people? Not on the GOP's watch.
These chucklefucks always seem to choose the more expensive way of going about it in the name of saving taxpayers money. Abject morons.

Meanwhile, they literally get free lunch. It's some ridiculous stipend over $100 a day. Tax corporations and the 1%, no never. Starving children though, excellent idea. Can't get kick backs from a single parent who's struggling. Plus we can use the money we saved to give Uvalde another armored vehicle. That'll help the children. We are truly screwed.
Profits are priority over children being able to eat, right? Makes sense to me! /s
This is just plain cruel. But I think they know that.
For a lot of kids, especially those whose families struggle financially, the free school meal is what they have to eat that day, and this would take even that away.
Horrible.

More orphans for the the orphan crushing machine
The machine needs to be fed.
Always think about the children, except when it's something that directly impacts the lives of children.
The cruelty truly is the point with republicans.
How anyone with any empathy could ever support these politicians is beyond me.

And I declare that voting these child-killers out of office is a 2024 priority.
Why would they alienate their voter base that mainly reside in impoverished red states? A portion of those poor brainwashed right-wingers have children too.
Can you guys see the parallel with a certain spiteful CEO who is the reason for our exodus...
