Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman wants to forgive all school lunch debt
Along with Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Peter Welch, the rising Democratic star introduced a life-changing bill that would cancel student lunch debt across America.
Astonishingly, there are 30 million children in the United States — the wealthiest nation in the history of the world — who cannot afford their school meals. As a result, they're forced into debt that adds up to a staggering $262 MILLION a year. The bill would direct the United States Department of Agriculture to pay for all debts owed to school for lunch or breakfast programs.
Unfortunately, it faces an uphill battle in the GOP-controlled House, which really should tell you all you need to know about the utterly mercenary and depraved Republican Party.
