WHY ARE WE PAYING FOR SCHOOL LUNCHES IN OTHER COUNTRIES?! If Bob or George want to send money, have at it. Who here thinks we're a giant ATM machine?

Because we are stupid.

Trump is smart and cares about America first.

Most other countries protect their own but they rely on the U.S. f toor the goodies.

We are all sick and tired of it. And that is why Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

Dole is free to start a foundation.

But the burning question of the day is, are ‘their’ school lunches better than the school lunches our own kids were served the last four years? Did our kids receive free medical and tutoring, too?

Who here thinks we're a giant ATM machine?

My taxes, your taxes, and taxes paid by everyone here go in that ATM machine. But we can't access the ATM! We have little say over who gets the funds from that ATM! We keep getting told that we have to pay our "fair" share! The government could take 100 percent of our money and say it isn't a "fair" share - meaning fair for others from other countries. The liberal left and MSM tout all the "achievements" of Obama, but any idiot could throw other peoples' money away and "achieve" wondrous giveaways to others.

President Trump wants us to keep our money for us! About time someone is on our side in government. Kill the government ATM!

These articles should have an address where people can donate. That way if people want a program to continue they are welcome to donate. We are broke. We can’t pay for this stuff anymore. Ask again a few years from now and if we are out of debt we will think about it

Why should this be a function of the federal government?

For what kinds of public purposes do local governmental units, whether to serve general or special functional purposes, exist?

The seemingly special and limitless capability of the federal juggernaut to invent and levy more and more kinds of tax levies seem to have conferred upon it limitless purpess and capabilities.

One of the things that most opened my eyes about Democrats when I first really watching politics in the ‘90s, was Patsy Ming (Communist-HI) was giving a floor speech in the house.

She said that there should be a “ minimum standard of living” throughout the world, and that we, should pay for it since we are so rich.

I’ve yet to figure out how 100 million US taxpayers cand feed, clothe and house 8 billion people and still have enough left over to kick back to Democrat politicians and corrupt foreign tyrants.

Do these kids not have parents? Since when is it the government’s job to feed children, domestic and foreign? Keep it going, in fact, let Santa Claus (The United States) feed the entire world. Guilt, guilt, and more guilt as the working American gets taken to the cleaner and the country goes bankrupt. Enough!

I agree, let George McGovern & Bob Dole, dole out their money. They had no right to appropriate my tax dollars to feed these children, even if it is a noble gesture. There is absolutely no provision in the Constitution that even mentions us feeding the world.

Send that money back to the taxpayers, and those who wish to feed the poor from other countries can donate to charities.

Besides, how do we even know that the money we send is even being used for that? It certainly has not purchased their love for us. It may have even created much envy & animosity towards us for all I know.

Globalist communists! The Elites of these countries take the money anyway. The money never gets to the “children” that the wacko left seem to cherish so much for their personal sexual satisfaction.

New headline: Trump stops committing America’s yet-to-be born to feed today’s poor worldwide.

I do not mind helping those truly in need, but it is not a duty of our leaders to borrow against our children’s and grandchildren’s earnings to help ANYONE. Period. If individuals like myself feel the moral obligation to help those in need, great... but stop spending my kids’ money.

In our district, documentation is not required to prove income, all you have to do is sign the form.

We have no business sending any money outside of the country as long as we are running a budget deficit.

George Soros and the other liberal tax-exempt foundations are free to pick up the slack. But we will see that funding social activism is far more important to them than funding world hunger.
