Food boxes?

Is this what Biden was yelling about? A program he ended? But the MAGA crowd. Booker wanted to make it permanent.

What the hell is wrong with Biden? Rhetorical.

Washington (CNN)As the country slowly climbs out of the pandemic, the Biden administration is ending a program that delivered nearly 167 million boxes of fresh food to families in need and helped farmers sell their produce at a time when supply chain disruptions forced them to dump milk and destroy their crops.

It's one of many emergency federal aid programs that the government must decide how to wind down in a way that doesn't create more problems for those still in need -- and some, including New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, the new chairman of the Senate nutrition subcommittee, are calling on the government to keep a version of the food box program permanent to ensure needy families can get deliveries of fresh fruits and vegetables.
