    You know, I tough it might be good to fact-check this screenshot. It might be missrepresenting something. So I did a little digging and it turns out that this is based on a document provided by the Republican Study Committee (about three quateres of house rebuplicans are members).

    I read the Dokument document (you can find it here) and HOLY HELL THIS IS THE WORST THING I HAVE READ IN A LONG WHILE.

    It’s so full of lies, half-truths and so, so, so much finger pointing to the “woke socialist Biden Administration” (yes, that is a quote), so removed from reality… It was painfull to read. There is so much utter nonsense in that one document.

    Anyhow. The headline is dead on. And it’s far far from the worst thing that they are proposing.

    I need to bang my head against a wall now untill i have erased the memory of reading this bullshit.

      It’s all about elimination of all federal regulations:

      Rep. Bill Posey’s (R-FL) Article I Restoration Act, which would sunset all regulations after 3 years.

      Require the federal government to have a “yellow pages test.” If a good or service can be found in the “yellow pages,” government should not be doing it.[14]

      Fucking dinosaurs don’t realize that they haven’t even printed a yellow pages in around a decade. Last time I received one it was like 30 pages long for a major city.

      Talk about pandering to their elderly base. Most Gen Z probably don’t even know what a “yellow pages” is.

      Because of the similarities between Republicans and the UK Conservative party, I am 100% convinced this is a collaborated narrative. They have collectively decided on which levers to pull and push because of data they have at hand. Some people have no moral compass at all when it comes to making money. And let’s face it, this is purely about backhanders and donation funding.

      Make em think their tax money is paying for “Ni–er food” and they’ll burn down the entire education system.

      Hell, replace Nword with F-word or Kword honestly doesn’t matter.

      I suppose taxes.

      I’m a republican and I fully support free school meals. We are already taxed for books, building, teachers, etc.

      I’d fully support basic supplies and meals as well. It just makes sense to make sure all students have the basic needs met since we are paying for it.

    Here’s an interesting tidbit (middle of page 127):

    funding for low-emission and expensive school buses and ferries

    So they like increased exhaust for our children (and everyone else also) to breath?

    Some here asking who are or would still vote for them, well in their eyes, they don’t want to feed YOUR kid(s), they believe their kids are well fed. Only when when they are in need will they have empathy.
