I Love A Good Hot Breakfast, Don't You?

“My question is what poor excuse for a parent can’t rustle up a bowl of cereal and a banana? I just don’t get why millions of school children qualify for school breakfasts unless we have a major wide spread problem with child neglect. If that’s how many parents are incapable of pulling together a bowl of cereal and a banana, then we have problems that are way bigger than — that problem can’t be solved with a school breakfast, because we have parents who are just criminally … criminally negligent with respect to raising children.”

Another example of when conservatives lose touch with realities of poverty. Katie O'Beirne thinks poor people can simply put groceries on a credit card like she does and that's the end of the story. People can't even pay the rent much less the credit card bill. Has she seen the cost of a box of cereal and the cost of bananas? Can a kid get a little milk with that too? These heartless conservatives don't even want to help poverty stricken American children, how much less the parents.

Plutocracy

Who are "they" you ask? They are the Republicans and those whom they have fooled.
