"Under the legislation, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) would lose $141m in funding for fruit and vegetable benefits for the nearly 5.4m children and pregnant and postpartum women enrolled. Four House Democrats voted with Republicans to pass the measure, while five Republicans voted against it."

Meanwhile to our north, earlier this year Canada PM Mark Carney took measures to make groceries and other essentials more affordable for Canadians. How lucky Canada and Mexico are to have compassionate and intelligent leadership in their legislative bodies and executive branches.

And to those four Democrats-- whoever you are -- that voted with the GOP to continue malnutrition with America's vulnerable people, GFY!


Nota Bene: In 2025 alone, the peace-loving hardworking American taxpayer sent wealthy, nuclear-armed Israel $12 billion in military funding to murder Palestinian children; that amount could have instead paid for 1,982,488 American families with one year's free groceries.

Good Morning Doc Sarvis

Thanks for the granularity. I am afraid to look each of them up and see why they did this.

I trust you are well and reading something interesting.

I'm enjoying an Agatha Christie mystery before beginning a more serious tome.

Alternating between fiction and non-fiction, light and heavy, history or current events, works well for this poor kitty who contributes modest OPs to drudge.com.
