" ... [checks notes] WORK ALL SUMMER SO THEY CAN AFFORD FOOD." #1,610
I'm not opposed to children's nutrition.
But in my experience, particularly for young children, their care is the obligation of their parents. Coercing young children to perform extended labor, work for food
constitutes sociological regression, in this case with Republican approval.
I'm all for fiscal responsibility. I enthusiastically endorse balanced budgets. BUT:
It can be considered sociopathic to balance the U.S. federal budget by taking nutritious food from the mouths of children.
"This human trash goblin went on to say children should be “thinking about their future instead of thinking about how they’re going to sponge out the government when they don’t need to.” S2 #1,610
Bell-curve substantial populations, in this case hundreds of U.S. federal legislators, and we expect an ideological spectrum, 6 sigma fringes and all.
But holding children to adult standards is not merely troglodytic, invoking attitudes rejected as barbaric in the previous millennium,
is apparently to McCormick [R-GA] no longer barbaric.
Commenting on NATO President Trump said: "I said it was obsolete. It's no longer obsolete." April, 2017
And so now, coerced subsistence child labor if ever barbaric is no longer barbaric?
In that case, and in light of Trump deporting our agricultural labor force, why squander resources teaching these young leaches reading & writing?
They don't have to know how to spell their own name to harvest crops.
Right?
* McCormick's stated position here is not merely heartless, troglodytic. It's ignorant.
Children that are not performing manual labor during summer break between grades are not doing nothing.
Instead they are socializing, learning the social skills they'll need as responsible employees, tax-payers, voters, and with luck, responsible parents with the literacy-based resources to feed themselves and their families.
"Rich McCormick"?
poor McCormick !
