It’s terrible the money was stolen—but this sort of give-away program must be stopped. We cannot afford it.

If folks were forced to work for food, they would do it. We have too many people who are third and fourth generation welfare receipents, IMHO......

I don’t think we would see people dying in the streets of hunger. People would figure out a way to feed themselves and their children.

Benjamin Franklin felt exactly the same way.

The real story here is not the thievery but the amount of money being thrown at these “programs” with little or no oversight. This should be at minimum a state matter, but the federal lunch “program” has grown into a behemoth.
