What is Going On?
In a story that’s got everyone talking, Hillary Clinton, who used to be the Secretary of State, has come down hard on some Republican governors.
What is the fuss about?
These governors want to be separated from a new program about giving food to kids who need it during the summer when they are not in school.
Clinton’s Big Question
Clinton took to X (Twitter) and was pretty straightforward.
She asked, “What is wrong with these people?” That is a big question, considering this is about helping hungry kids.
What is This Program Anyway?
So, here is the deal with the program: It has $2.5 billion to spend and could help out about 21 million kids.
That is a lot of lunches and breakfasts.
The plan was to kick things off in June.
Why Don’t They Like It?
The Republican governors, who are from 15 different states, have their reasons.
Some say they already have something like it and do not need another one.
However, the governor of Iowa, Kim Reynolds, thinks giving families these special EBT cards will not help kids eat better, especially with childhood obesity being such a big problem.
Hillary is Not Alone
Clinton is not the only one upset about this.
Many people are talking about it, wondering what will happen to all those kids who rely on school meals.
It is a big question, and everyone, from parents to politicians, is trying to figure out what should be done next.
