Looks like the president is upping the ante. Seems his red lines only apply to GOP, not terrorists.
Ping.
Starve babies and little children?
Hmmm, is this about genocide and population control?
Women and children hardest hit. It’s almost a cliche.
Perhaps some of their cash that usually goes for other items could be used to purchase food for the babies.
They will have to get that food using their food stamps. Whahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
“Nearly 9 million low-income mothers and children receive benefits under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children.”
This is terrible!
Does this mean they will have to stop falling on their back, legs in the air, every time a ghetto drug dealer walks past?
I’ll believe it when it happens. WIC is not going away. This is no different from the “Bush pushed granny down the stairs” message.
the whiners need to call “their” congressmen, and tell them to pass a bill now!!!
Shut down non-essential services and Congresssalaries not WIC.
Karina would have done better to be married to a husband with a job. Just sayin....
Anyone who wants to purchase food for another will not be stopped.
So did they stop giving out Obamaphones yet?
Well maybe they’ll now have to use their own cash now for those cigs or milk for their kids instead of lobster and steak.
Formula is very expensive. Mother’s milk is better for nearly every baby. Nearly every woman is able to nurse her babies although it can be difficult at first. My conclusion is that nearly every unemployed woman should be nursing her babies and not giving them formula. Poor employed women have a reason to give formula.
AND, an 11 month baby is very close to being the recommended age of one year to drink cow’s milk.
If you go to flea markets, you will see a lot of hot ticket items like infant formula and Tide detergent going for less than they do in stores. I doubt the merchants have a business relationship with the wholesalers - I suspect they have a great business with WIC/EBT resellers.
So I am not crying for starving babies yet.
This program is a great help to poor people who can’t afford things,” Luciano said. “It’s very educational and helps teenage moms. Not having it is going to hurt a lot of families.”
Like subsidized rent for homes nicer than mine...
Like driving cars or suv’s nicer than mine...
Like having steak and lobster while I eat P@J...
Like having phones and plans nicer than mine...
Today’s poor is not poor, go back to the 30’s to see what poor is.

And don’t most churches have assistance ministries similar to this?

Those “mothers” shouldn’t have had children they cannot afford to feed.
Who the F cares? The scumbags on my wife’s side of the family rape us with this WIC stuff. Let them figure out how to feed the future welfare recipients that they shot out.
