Child nutrition programs including School Lunch, School Breakfast, Child and Adult Care Feeding, Summer Food Service and Special Milk will continue through February.

Wait what....

Why are they doing Summer food service in winter,,...?

And why "School Lunch, School Breakfast" when schools are on recess...?

Why is "Adult Care Feeding" lumped in with Child nutrition programs....?

Seems to me some serious redundancies are in order.

Food Stamps will still be issued.

It’s probably cheaper to lay these folks off than to pay them to sniff out fraud.

Might as well shut it down totally. They don’t ‘oversee’ a damn thing!...................

The program has oversight? Learn something new everyday.

Psychology. You're likely to focus on the word "child" and skip over the word "adult." It's just one of the many ways that journalists hide details that don't support the narrative.

annnndddd….there we have it.

The Swamp has pre-engineered food riots into any government shutdown scenario. The immune response against touching a single penny is complete.

I would move ALL asylum claims to an office in Anchorage. Anybody claiming asylum can be relocated to that location and await resolution of their petition. It’s unlikely they would roam and evade from that locale.

I expect that if it impacts school lunches, that’ll affect the most people and produce the most complaints.

We had school lunches when I went to school. Well, our Moms would pack them in a brown bag and we ate ‘em at school, heh.

Had the option to go home for lunchtime, which was what I did almost every day. Give me a chance to catch some of the noon hour kid’s show, too.

Yes. Among many other things. But the article is whining about WIC (and other closely related gibsmedat programs) so I'll stick to that.

Shut the whole damn thing down.

It would be good for Trump to consolidate all the dozens of welfare programs under HHS, and lay off a bunch of redundant administrating staff.
