A Republican state senator voted against a bill to feed schoolchildren, arguing that hunger wasn't a problem there because he hadn't met anyone without enough food.

Sen. Steve Drazkowski made the remarks on the floor of the Minnesota State Capitol on Tuesday before voting on HF 5, which would provide free school lunch and breakfast for students in the state.

"I have yet to meet a person in Minnesota that is hungry," said Drazkowski. "I have yet to meet a person in Minnesota that says they don't have access to enough food to eat."

This guy is obviously a moron. The reason he hasn't seen them is probably because his kids travel in the circles of private schools and neighborhoods. Just saying. Just because you can't or really haven't tried to see it doesn't mean it does not exist!
