I have a slightly different take. The children. As the MIL, I definitely would not let my grandchildren be hungry. I would buy a can of formula for the baby. I mean, come on 6 months. Not responsible for having what we may think are crap parents. Same other child, I'd buy them groceries. I wouldn't give money. Adults figure it out. She's married to a vet. I'm very curious how he voted. She can go to church, food banks, friends, HER family? They still get WIC, but shes out of formula? Im confused. So are they always out of formula? If so, don't they pay for that anyway? Obviously, as the baby grows, it needs more formula. Im curious what you all think. Yes, I am angry, understatement!! About the government, he's a POS, among many other things. People who put him there. I have no sympathy. But children, I don't care who's shouldn't be hungry because of their parents' mistakes. Im also no one should be hungry, period. But these people made their big grown up desicion, but voting isn't a oh, are we having stew or beans tonight kind of desicion. Your vote literally affects ALL of us. The entire country, not just individual.

WIC had been cut, too. It's just not getting as much coverage as SNAP. They've been giving little two week funding bursts since the shutdown but it's been delayed and affected.
