    And some states, ahem…Nebraska…don’t believe in the welfare of their residents, so they rejected millions of federal dollars that would have gone to feeding hungry children.

    Insert tired quote about the absurd hypocrisy of right wingers only loving children when they’re fetuses. And even then….

      I wonder how much of their state economy is driven by government welfare paid to farmers?

    What about those of us who realized we couldn’t afford to have kids and are in poverty as well?

    We (well, the legislature/governor, I guess) just expanded the child tax-credit in Michigan, from 6% to 30%, retroactively to 2022. People should start getting checks in February.
