About those school meals, they illuminate a deep truth about welfare. I listen to the cooks and other volunteers who help out, and they are the typical bleeding hearts. What they take away from it is here’s suffering. If we didn’t feed them they’d be starving! The fact that they showed up and took free things proves it!

Somehow it never occurs to them that you might accept free things that you don’t really need. That if your breakfast program didn’t exist maybe they wouldn’t be in a fetal position in the corner, holding their gurgling stomachs, crying through the hunger pangs. Maybe they’d eat anyway, only it would cost them or their families instead of you.

Some people just can’t see that charity increases want. Of course there’ll suddenly be more hunger if food is free for hungry people. Duh. That’s basically their job. If you raised wages for garbage men, for instance, there’d be more competition for garbage jobs. This is all the more attractive, for it results in immediate food instead of working with garbage.

Why do they choose $30?

Because Booker as an elected black Democrat is a congenital liar? Other than that I have no explanation.

ha,ha so true....in my view I’ve never seen as many chunky kids as I have in the last twenty years. Too many kids would rather stay inside and play with their video games rather than get out of the house and run around.
