Qasim Rashid, Esq.GOP: We want a balanced budget!
So repeal Trump’s $2.1T billionaire tax cuts?
•GOP: NO!
End corporate welfare?
•GOP: NO!
Audit bloated military budget?
•GOP: NO!
How will you balance the budget?
GOP: Ban free school lunch
(Not even exaggerating)
Joe ❌👑@QasimRashid They want to raise the retirement age to 69 now.

Felis Cat@not2b in what sense? you wouldn't be able to draw on social security until then?
@Sternness3985 If you retire earlier than that you would receive a lower amount, permanently. Fortunately this isn't going to pass, but something like this would become law if the GOP wins everything in 2024.

ZooGuru@QasimRashid got to focus on what’s important!
trisk!@QasimRashid yes! something that is barely a sliver on the pie chart of government spending, that needs to be cut down! We should also make sure that states never do that, either!
...what?
I'm just... astounded by some of the economic decisions of the elephant party.
garpu@QasimRashid It's just institutionalized cruelty at this point.
Travis@QasimRashid That’ll balance out for sure. Gotta step over dimes to pick up pennies!
Speed demon 🇪🇺 🇳🇴🇺🇦🇵🇸@QasimRashid Also defund tax-collection.
@QasimRashid if something like this ever comes to fruition, REVOLT
Wendy Lady@QasimRashid they can't even hide their villainy. And I don't think they care to at this point.
Southern Leftist@NerdRage42
And that's fact!
Free lunch helps everyone. If we can't pay for it, billionaires can.
@south_lib if our kids can't eat, they'll have to eat the rich.
Arena Cops 🇺🇦✌@QasimRashid That's very likely, what's called "fiscal fascism".

E 💚🌱🌈@QasimRashid Come on now, let's be fair and balanced.
They also want to increase their own lunch budget while they ban free lunches for kids. Let's not undersell their efforts!
James BrookeThis former Republican sees what you're talking about.

Hey Q, I'm busted for totally parroting your every word.
@jCarttarBrooke
What can we say?
It's not about "free shit" or "overreliance" crap; this is about elitism.
Charles J Gervasi ⚡🛡️🥥@jCarttarBrooke
I agree with not using gov't funds for a free lunch for people who aren't needy, but I can't stand #Republicans' mean-spiritedness, authoritarianism, and conspiracy theories. Their brand is ruined for me.

@QasimRashid
@cgervasi @jCarttarBrooke @QasimRashid
Yeah. We don't need rich fuckers ransacking programs for the needy!
Also, people who aren't considered "needy" but not an aristocrat (seriously, how can some say capitalism reduces poverty when we have this shit going on!?) might need it from time to time.
Jen Mc 🏳️🌈🇦🇺They really do hate the poor and disadvantaged and, if it didn’t give them someone to hate, I think they’d try and wipe them out completely.
Alex W.@QasimRashid We are working on challenging this guy in Oklahoma but man its tough.
This is sad.
MrC@QasimRashid Damn kids need to start donating more if they want the GQP to care about them,
antipode77That isn't going to happen.
Billionaires can always outspend normal people and kids.
Until being a billionaire is illegal.
ken Taylor@QasimRashid maybe we could balance the budget by banning poverty so no one needed free school lunches.
@QasimRashid school lunch, i believe, was first proposed by racist La. gov. Huey Long. Philadelphia started a penny a lunch program in 1894.After that it began to spread, but Long's was the first comprehensive state-wide plan, but not sure it came to full fruition before his assassination.
@QasimRashid .Another racist southerner, Richard Russell took up the mantle and the 1946 act is officially entitled the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act. The idea of course is if you feed the poor (&minorities) they will be less likely to revolt.
MyOpinion@QasimRashid I recommend you ban the GOP/Nazi party from office. They do not deserve to lead.
Chris Mingus@QasimRashid how is it that these supervillains brainwashed half the country into thinking they actually care about the common man?
@Toonwatcher @QasimRashid
I dunno, but based on what I've seen, they're shitholes.
Even a conservative ignorant party not hellbent on establishing an aristocracy would be slightly better.
Nicole ParsonsThe Tories in the UK are recommending seniors and school children give up eating breakfast as a way to balance budgets.
Conservatives suck.
Ç'thûłhů👾Rants! 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 🇨🇦@Npars01 @QasimRashid
Let the young and the elderly go hungry, as long as corporations can collect their blood money.

author_is_ShrikeTron🔠💉x5@QasimRashid Then Centrist Dems vote for it as "compromise", but only those landed gentry in Congress win.
Samhain Night@QasimRashid It's to force hungry kids into child labor
GQPHypocrisy@QasimRashid But if they DON'T ban School Lunch for Kids how will they afford to raise their OWN Daily Food Allowances courtesy of the Taxpayers?
ideaPDish@QasimRashid
"Ban free school lunch"
So when ever tid schools become free?
It is in the common interest to have well educated citizens. Not just well educated plutocrats.
Therefore school should be free and paid for by taxing everybody.
@QasimRashid Shitty, cheap school food is not an expense problem. Republicans want to end public schools so private schools are the only option. Education helps people escape poverty and understand how to defend themselves in the legal system, two things these fascists don't want us to do!
Ostrich@QasimRashid School lunches seem like a good subject for a quasipolitical tiktoker.
"God, babe, we need to save money, we gotta cut spending somewhere."
> "I know. Maybe you can stand spending less on your friends' allowance, work meals, or maybe buy cheaper ammo online for hunting?"
"Hmm, no, I think we should stop feeding our kids."
> "What the- Babe that's illegal!"
"Says who? We're in charge here."
> "It's also immoral!"
"I'd argue it's immoral to discourage them from work!"
> "They're 5!"
That_guy@QasimRashid Republican policies punish the needy and enrich the wealthy
Kerri Levine
@QasimRashid no more freebies for the peasant class
STEMcoding Project@QasimRashid Ohio should be counted among the "at least 21 states" that are opposed to universal school lunch. The talking point is that there are already programs to offer free lunch to families who can't afford it. The counterpoint is that the paperwork doesn't always get filled out and there are a lot of families that are just above the free lunch threshold.
Mchadden@QasimRashid school lunches given as freebies or money to military to protect our lives and freedom in America?? Hmmm. 🤔 Tough desicion. Lol pretty naive. China hates us. Taliban Hates us. ISIS hates us. Every country not in NATO does too. If that isn't true, why does it exist? For protection. Plain and simple. To disregard all the lives lost in American wars and put more importance on a topic like free lunch? Wow.👎military is necessity for our lives.
@QasimRashid yes ban free lunch. They can't afford top ramen? 25 cents. Apple? 50 cents. water? Free. Granola bar 50 cents. Those who "need" FREE school lunch are the same who already have free EBT from the state. People not on EBT don't need to worry about lunch price. They have the money. EBT covers all food items. So make your kid a lunch and stop being lazy. Teach them independence not to expect and just take and have free things and get take. Care of with no responsibility. Fuk school lunch
@QasimRashid and Fuck you too fucking libtard.
They would rather kill a golden Goose, than feed the animal. 🪙🪿
Theosuwb@QasimRashid isn’t that truth! Good morning y’all ! Make it a wonderful day! 👍💙💃
