Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has declined federal SNAP summer supplemental funds, arguing the program promotes welfare. The cartoon depicts Lee at a podium holding papers marked no fed funds while a speech bubble criticizes the assistance. Nearby a hungry child with a rumbling stomach stands ignored as Lee tells the child to keep quiet. The image highlights the tension between state policy choices and immediate child needs during summer months when school meals are unavailable.
