Since making something a right means the taxpayers have to pay for it, where is my gun voucher?
—amazing what a program to get rid of post WW2 food surpluses has become-—
You know, once I got out of K-6 and found out no one was going to make eat that garbage; I used lunch as a free period and kept my lunch money as extra cash.
Remember when we had to add school breakfasts to the taxpayers tab because the Poor were too hungry to learn because the parent at home didn’t feed them? So free breakfasts were added, scores continued to plummet and then the experts yammered about childhood obesity. Then the Left can’t figure out why the sensible American is tired of paying taxes on failed Socialist programs.
Gee,I started school in The Great Depression and we had to go home for lunch.
There was no complaining.
My mother had been widowed yet she still fed us.
They had the silly idea that parents were responsible for feeding the children.
.
The solution to this type of privilege is to just make a big vat of soup and hand each kid a bowl of it daily. Army cooks can make something like this for 20 cents a bowl. I’m guessing the anti-soup crowd will fight it tooth and nail.
It would actually be empowering for the parents to be able to choose the best way to budget their food allowance. It would also cut down on the food that's thrown away. It is true, there are children who throw a lot of their free food away and eat stuff they brought to school instead.
So people who can afford it shouldn’t pay ...but all taxpayers should pay for all lunches.
There was a point when I was growing up when my family qualified for free lunches. My mother wouldn’t do it. I thought it was stupid not to do it. I don’t remember why she wouldn’t do it...but probably some of the points listed in this article. She never accepted any kind of welfare.
No govt cheese. No food stamps. Etc
We never did without.
She would have never advocated for everyone to get a free lunch.
That is why the Pilgrims came to this country. For the right to sit back and have other people get you some food.
This is ridiculous thinking. With the technology they use in the school lunch programs now, the students just punch in a code at the “checkout” area. No one would have any idea who gets free lunches or who pays their own way.
I think the mayor is trying to just be sure lunch is universally “free”, which can never be turned back, and only heartless GOP candidates would ever threaten to try.
This policy is meant only to trap future dem voters, IMHO.
Nothing that someone else has to pay for is a ‘right.’
That includes food, shelter, clothing, education, and medical care. None of these things are rights.
TANSTAAFL
Every child has a right to lunches and breakfasts, suppers and snacks.
Provided by a parent or caregiver.
Daily.
instead of being trapped in a living situation where the people who have custody of him or her do not have the ability, fortitude or interest in even feeding them.
We qualified for free lunches when I was a kid. We never signed up because, to quote my dad, “It’s not the government’s job to feed my kids.”
Mom packed our lunches and the result is 4 productive adults that are contributors to society, not takers.
Thought school lunches were something you could buy if you wanted..?
And it’s for the chillllldren.
Taking money forcibly from the productive to pay for this is a crime, not a law.

SPRINGFIELD - If you’re able to tuck away $1,125 by skipping Starbucks and walking more in 2017, looks like that money won’t be safe, because the Illinois Senate Democrats voted Tuesday to hike the average Illinois family’s taxes just that much in 2017.
Here’s the scoop from the Illinois Policy Institute:

Anything that’s paid for through confiscatory taxation is a privilege ... not a right.
I literally laughed out loud.
I have three words for you regarding that when I was in KCK Public Schools barley a decade ago.
Flaming. Hot. Cheetos.
The kids with free lunch always seemed to have money for snacks.
