Broward co florida is giving free breakfast regardless of income this year. a and you can get a ride, free bf and lunch during summer.
So they can claim the Republicans are STARVING EVEN MORE CHILDREN when they propose a 0.5% budget cut.
Where do I sign up for such a sweet deal? Oh, yeah, I’m just a Christian conservative disabled veteran, I don’t rate anything like that. I’m sure all the people getting that free stuff have contributed much more than you and I towards this nation and society, right?
is the program really needed - the kids are not getting fed at home??
I am thinking of the many benefits existing for those living below the poverty line. I saw a calculation the other day and it seems they are all doing very well and no one should be hungry. Some of those who also receive unemployment benefits, especially Massachusetts, make more than I do with my retirement income.
To paraphrase, “There’s no such thing as a free breakfast.”
How about if the gummint start charging for meals? Make it highly affordable, but make them pay SOMETHING. Have them get used to paying for what they get.
They do that here, “free” breakfast for all at school, free and reduced lunches or most, and they serve “free” food at parks in the summer. If you take your children to the park you will see about 4 kids actually eating their “free” food and the people serving it will harass- yes harass any other children they see to try to get them to eat the “free” food. I had one of them chase down my kids years ago when this started here and offer food to them. My children and I politely declined their offer and they became insistent that my children should eat the “free” food even after I told them my children had just been fed at a restaurant and were not hungry. The people doing the program then wanted to just claim my children ate the “free” food- ask them questions and check them off on a paper; and I ripped them apart over their “free” food and told them it sure wasn’t free to the taxpayers. Schools do this scam with their breakfast too, trying to harass children that don’t even eat the breakfast into scanning their ID so the school can claim they fed them and get the $$$. I had a fight with our little country school about doing that years ago- to me it is fraud pure and simple.
