I posed the questions to USDA; Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, and Louisiana Regions being defiant in not helping the very people they profess to want to help “undeserved, socially disadvantage, disfranchised”. These Governors and Congressional leaders should be accountable for these programs that feed youth and undeserved communities in there states with Federal funding. Their programs should be audited by a private independent firm to show the wasteful neglect in their feeding programs. These states ranked in the top five for more than 10 years and know one has lifted and finger to asked why their are not doing there job. Too many smoke scenes and red-tape under the sheets” and you the media need to review USDA’s continuing practices that keep our youth and communities starving when funding is allocated to handle this crisis through the Farm Bill Legislation, FNS, HHS nutritional, and other federal funded feeding programs. Where is the loyalty and compassion with USDA in these Regions who head-up these programs? Recently there was a call to the USDA national office asking USDA’s, Secretary Vilsack and Department of Education Secretary, Arne Duncan to come and address these issues in these states and they avoid these problems that plague these regions. By say it a scheduling conflict. Anytime is better than no time! Why!

Accountability in our government and Congressional leaders need to be addressed.
