Republican Lawmaker: 'Hunger can be a positive motivator.'

motivator.’
In her June newsletter, State Rep. Cynthia Davis (R-MO) provided
several “commentaries” to a press release from the Missouri Department
of Health and Senior Services on a summer food program. The program
provides “food during the summer for thousands of low-income Missouri
children who rely on the school cafeteria for free or reduced-price
meals during the regular school year.” Davis, who serves as the
chairwoman of the Missouri House Special Standing Committee on
Children and Families, questioned whether the program is “warranted,”
and extolled the hidden benefits of child hunger:
Who’s buying dinner? Who is getting paid to serve the meal? Churches
and other non-profits can do this at no cost to the taxpayer if it is
warranted. [...] Bigger governmental programs take away our
connectedness to the human family, our brotherhood and our need for
one another. [...] Anyone under 18 can be eligible? Can’t they get a
job during the summer by the time they are 16? Hunger can be a
positive motivator. What is wrong with the idea of getting a job so
you can get better meals? Tip: If you work for McDonald’s, they will
feed you for free during your break. [...] It really is all about
increasing government spending, which means an increase in taxes for
us to buy more free lunches and breakfasts.
A report by Feeding America found that one in five Missouri children
currently lives with hunger. Taking apart Davis’ other arguments, a
St. Louis Post-Dispatch editorial noted that most of the summer
feeding program sites are actually hosted by churches and that the
program, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, fed
3.7 million meals at a total cost of less than $9.5 million last
summer — “a pretty good use of federal money.” (HT: DailyKos diarist

I don't think Michelle Bachman is real. I'm pretty sure parents just
use that story to scare the kids into behaving.
