I believe there should be guardrails to the idea of state-by-state experimentation; and that one of them should be “children should not go hungry.”
It’s just the decent, moral thing to do. Such a guardrail is appropriate at the federal level.

- drewbug01 4y agoA great question. I don’t know why or how people can be so cruel. And yet: kids go hungry. It happens, and so we should not allow it. If individual states choose to allow kids to go hungry, then those states should not be allowed to make that choice. That’s why federal intervention is warranted. States don’t seem to be doing the right thing.
