Because of those tough on crime republicans.

Lets see if cutting education has any impact over the next 20 years.

Crime reduction is strongly correlated with an aging population. Crime is largely a young man's game.

Young and hungry, without opportunity. Also something being cut with reduced food aid and education.

Education? Free Food Aid? In the US, people are not starving

Just because a lot of people are fat, doesn't mean it is evenly distributed.

That is just a right talking point about how we are so spoiled. Plenty of kids need food. Kids learn better when not hungry. And Republicans are cutting school food programs.
