A new food program would have kicked in this summer, had Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt not turned down $48 million from a $2.5 billion initiative that the Biden administration calls “a giant step forward” in ending childhood hunger in the country. Though Oklahoma is one of the most food-insecure states, with surveys finding that more than 200,000 children are hungry at some point during a year, Stitt suggested the administration was “trying to push certain agenda items on kids.”

 He joined 12 fellow Republican governors who ultimately refused the money, part of the bipartisan budget agreement Congress reached in 2022. Some said they were reluctant because the country is mired in debt and the government already spends heavily on child nutrition programs — more than $25 billion in fiscal 2023. Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves called the new program an attempt “to expand the welfare state.”

“trying to push certain agenda items on kids.”


said "agenda item" being FOOD.

Oklahoma is one of those places where  300 pound *** on welfare is the status quo.


Asset / Resource Limit

This means countable resources, like funds in bank accounts. A home is not counted as a resource.There is no asset limit in Oklahoma.
Note: The SNAP application may still ask about your household's assets, even if the asset limit does not apply.

Do you have any idea why there are "Please don't feed the bears" signs up in the National Parks?

I'm guessing no.

I'm torn.

I know you're a **** idiot, so I can guess where you're going....

But confirmation will only leave me sad at the human condition.

So I'll pass.

So your claim is that there are 200,000 children whose parent(s) are not getting food stamps or are not using that money to properly feed their kids with it? 
Don't those public schools in OK also provide free breakfast and lunch to all needy kids, even in the summer months when they're out of school?

How is it that too much is never enough for you idiot socialists?
Have you ever met a welfare program you didn't love?

And now for the rest of the story:

"I am satisfied that kids are going to be fed in the summertime through the regular course of DHS and programs for the needy that we have in the State of Oklahoma," he said, adding that because the USDA hasn't finalized the rules of the program, the State couldn't determine what conditions the Biden administration might include.

 "We pushed back as the Biden Administration has tried to push social policies down related to funding," he said.

And:

"Oklahoma already has multiple programs to serve food insecure children across Oklahoma, including SNAP benefits, Oklahoma State Department of Education Summer Food Program and the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma’s Summer Feeding Program," he said.

Ya know, you sure bitch about debt and when someone does not take money you get pissed because they did not help create more debt.

Now wonder you are a Biden voter.  You just aren't that smart.

I say @Blackvegetable  doesn't give a flying **** about the kids or the food.  What he care about is the governor having to accept whatever conditions the Biden admin comes with for accepting the money.

And that can be said about virtually EVERY liberal!
They care about nothing other than providing government with more control over the masses.
