The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The strategic question is this: Who is going to raise, be responsible for and instill fundamental values in future generations of Americans? Will it be parents or the state?
Obviously it will be the State, just like When Chris Rock looks at Obama as his Daddy, for all he knows, he just might be. And dare I say that most Blacks look to Government as being their Daddy. We are so screwed
My daughter teaches English at a high school for students who have gotten into trouble. When her class discovered that she did not receive food stamps, they were astonished, and could not understand how she obtained food.
But what do you expect when 41% of all children are born out of wedlock?
Farmers love this and other Federal Government food programs. There is no group of people who are more socialist than them.
All to no avail. Now they want summer lunch programs. Oh my, the poor kids will starve to death if the government doesn't give them a "free" lunch. My wife has to tell me to calm down and watch my blood pressure when I see these things on tv.
Honestly, I was shocked to read that in 1969 40% of school kids were on the School Lunch program.
Why are the schools giving breakfast, lunch and dinner to schoolkids while the 'sperm and egg doners' get food stamps.
I thought Food Stamps are to feed the kids!!
Big Food lobby.
Farming is nationalized.
See Farm Subsidies.
Not soon, I hope, ‘cause we’ll all starve.
So that fact that I pack a lunch for my kids every school morning makes me some sort of nutty anachronism?
Oh, well. In the world, but not of it.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." --Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Parents / guardians of schoolchildren have less money in their personal bank accounts to give their kids lunch money because Congress has taxes taken out of parents' payroll checks which Congress cannot justify under Section 8.
Note that the Founding States had established the federal Senate to kill appropriations bills originating in the House of Representatives which establish taxes that ignore Section 8. But as a consequence of state lawmakers unthinkingly giving up control of the federal Senate by ratifying the 17th Amendment, federal senators now help to pass appropriations bills which rob the citizens who elected them to office by means of constitutionally indefensible taxes.
In other words, instead of getting their hands dirty by robbing banks for a living, elite crooks in the USA rob people by getting themselves elected as federal lawmakers to fill their pockets by legislating illegal federal taxes.
The sum of the collection of the effects of the Liberal media and the Liberal cradle-to-grave federal-handout state says to a young woman:
“Why get married; the state will feed my kid brealfast and lunch at a free school through highschool, pay for his college and then give him a government job as a soon-to-be tenured teacher so he can raise the next crop of kids for the state.??”
Our son, now 19, was in Jr. High some 6 years ago. We wanted him to take more advanced classes and he was turned down based on testing and other criteria. As soon as the school found out he was on the free lunch program, the story changed. Yes, he could take the advanced classes. How many families are being forced to put their kids on fed lunch subsidies in order to get the better classes for them?
In the end our son was the High School Valedictorian for the class of 2012. He went to a 4-year college having already 70 college credit hours under his belt.
He would not have been able to get there if he wasn’t on the fed lunch program in 2007.
This article is misleading. I ate at school cafeterias in the 1960’s and early 70’s, but paid full price. The subsidy comes in if a kid qualifies for free or reduced lunch. So, the author is greatly inflating his numbers.
Anoter government do good program. Once started only multiples and grows more expensive. There was no free lunches when I went to school.
