You have to get EIGHT grafs deep into this news story propaganda piece to get the facts about "why."
EIGHT.
...According to The Washington Post, the House voted 213-210 on the funding bill for fiscal year 2027. Four Democrats joined Republicans to pass the measure. Five Republicans voted against it.
By the numbers:
According to the progressive Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the cuts would slash more than $141 million in fruit and vegetable benefits for about 5.4 million WIC beneficiaries, including pregnant women, new mothers, toddlers and preschoolers. ...
DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM!!!!!! Do you understand them? It is DOOOOOOOOMMM!!!
...The National WIC Association said the cuts would lower monthly healthy food benefits from $52 to $13 for breastfeeding mothers and from $26 to $10 for young children. ...
Gee. WIC has a National Association? Gotta be an unbiased source of info, right?
Well, as it turns out, they ARE biased.
...Rep. Andy Harris, a Maryland Republican and chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee on agriculture, said the bill includes $8 billion in WIC funding, which "will fully fund the program," The Post reported.
"No woman or their children will lose or be denied coverage," Harris said. ...
Congress' funding is reduced because there are fewer people taking the benefits. No point in allocating funds that won't be legitimately used. But the National WIC Association probably had plans for a nice new building and a few more lobbyists liars.
The manner of reporting this story tells you why "da Nooz" is no longer a respectable source of information. How long before "da Nooz" figures it out?
