School lunches and child nutrition are a no-brainer, or you'd think.
It's an investment into our country - every dollar in SNAP funding adds
$1.54 to the GDP, and every billion in SNAP benefits supports 14,000
jobs while contributing more to the GDP then we spend.

Not to mention the benefits to the country as a whole having children
well-nourished during their formative years and the effect on their
education.

Instead, we get to hear wealthy politicians blaming poor parents as an
excuse to cut funding. I guess an ignorant populace is easier to
manipulate - and someone has to do those jobs no one wants to do when we
stop all undocumented workers!
