Iowa will not participate this summer in a federal program that gives $40 per month to each child in a low-income family to help with food costs while school is out, state officials have announced.
The state has notified the U.S. Department of Agriculture that it will not participate in the 2024 Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer for Children — or Summer EBT — program, the state’s Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Education said in a Friday news release.
“Federal COVID-era cash benefit programs are not sustainable and don’t provide long-term solutions for the issues impacting children and families. An EBT card does nothing to promote nutrition at a time when childhood obesity has become an epidemic,” Iowa Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds said in the news release.

Be more clear next time.
Yes genetic you. Read above. It’s very clear I think people should lay their own way and not beg the government for their failures.
Be more clear next time.
I was plenty clear. I am not sure why you are confused.
You seem to think the government should take care of all the needs of the people. Wrong country. That was Nazi Germany
Yeah, wanting to feed impoverished children sure is equivalent to genocide. Let me know when you come back to reality.
The Nazis were more than genocide. They were a Nanny state. That may interest you but it doesn’t interest me.
Feeding the impoverished is all it takes to make a government a nanny state?
With a bar set that low, every government that has ever existed is/was a nanny state. What a terrible comparison. I could never make light of a genocide like you.
I never made light of genocide. The Nazis and Democrats have a lot in common.
