I am extremely disappointed with this bill. It completely misses the mark on addressing the real issues of college hunger. It fails to provide adequate support for students who are struggling to afford food while pursuing their education. This bill is a slap in the face to those of us who are already struggling to make ends meet. It's a shame that our government is prioritizing other issues over the basic needs of its citizens. This bill is a complete failure and I am deeply concerned about the impact it will have on college students across the country.
