He could spend his time and effort trying to fix the issue long term . . . or at the very least address thee root cause (capitalism) and donate the money for a temporary fix.
The funding builds on the $8 billion already committed to fighting hunger in September 2022.
And yet lack of access to food and hunger is still growing, almost like throwing money at the problem won’t ever fix it and all it takes is one Republican government to come along and stop throwing money at it for this house of cards to come crashing down on the most needing.

Our country wasn’t always like this
