The cost for food aid for 275,000 people is not a significant sum in comparison to the $1T+ federal budget. So this requirement is just read meat for the knuckle-draggers.
Not really a cat and not really a photo, but I’m not really first.

A good visual to keep in mind
Wingers believe 50% of the budget is welfare which is simply not remotely close.

I chirped to myself, “Self.” (and I knew it was me, cause I recognized my chirp) “Today is going to be a good day!”
Let’s make it so!

As normal, the cruelty is the point. Facts be damned.
It’s all about punishing “the other,” as Jesus intended (per their imagined readings).

Are the goobers cruel?
My suggestion that I made yesterday was for Garret Graves (R-asshole) go without food for 3-4 days and without his pay for 3-4 months just to see how it feels.

They also think most of the rest of it is foreign aid to “shithole countries.”

What defect is it in the brains (or hearts) of “conservatives” that just drives them nuts if it looks like someone else just might get something that they are not getting (yet)?
Of course when the tornado comes, or the hurricane/flood, whatever, they are first in line whining that the Gub’ment has not gotten there fast enough with aid to fix all their troubles.
fuck the goobers They are not even decent human beings!

We can thank the old fart who is sainted by the righties for that mantra and several other destructive memes that the Rethugs have clapped onto to justify their selfishness, immaturity and greed.
We are still supposed to believe that these "billionaires and corporations are innovativating like mad to produce new products that will benefit mankind, and of course creating well paid jobs for the middle class.
Reality is just beyond the capability of the right wing

Facts don’t matter when it interferes with a powerful narrative.
I see statements from nincompoops every single day, multiple times a day, about ‘no one wants to work anymore’.
When pointed to the idea that unemployment is at an all-time low, particularly among minorities, the nincompoops insist that the books have been cooked and not all workers are included in those numbers because they’ve dropped out of the system.
Guess where they get THAT from? Look at the chyrons of the right-wing media. Statements without substantiation, their stock-in-trade.

Note that this is proposed by the same GOP that refused to close tax loopholes for the rich during the debt ceiling negotiation.
