What exactly are the parents’ food stamps buying then?
Then, you can track down the parents and send them back to Mexico where their welfare check will go a whole lot further.
And there you have the gist of the problem . . . if the kiddies grow up in a functional family, there is always the possibility that they might not vote Democrat.
Yes. Add some washers and driers and call it home. Then end payments to the so called parents.
OK so these parents are on food stamps, WIC etc . Now correct me if I am wrong but they are for the food which we pay for which goes to their kids.
If they are getting all meals free at school then what the hell are they spending the food stamps and WIC etc on?
That idea may have already started with the Central American and Mexican kids who flooded across the border at Obama’s invitation.
The whole school dinner thing is just one more step for the Open Borders lobby. LAUSD doesn’t ask about citizenship and it became overwhelmingly latino in recent years. This is your chance to pay Mexico to send its people to America for free stuff. Órale!
Most likely either selling their EBT cards at a discount or buying premium food you and I can't afford so they can raise some quick cash for booze, smokes and drugs. I've sometimes thought we should open government stores which sell booze, smokes and drugs at bargain prices for EBT card users only.
Who needs parents when Obama rules?/sarc
“OK so these parents are on food stamps, WIC etc . “
That isn’t necessarily true. Some of these parents make plenty of money but they’re real happy to have you pick up their food bill. Who gets booted off the program? No one. The schools push these programs because they are getting money based on the number of students enrolled.
Makes sense. Why aren't their parents feeding them? And why are you putting a gun to my head to make me feed them?
"the basis of economics is scarcity .. prices are the mechanism by which scarce resources are allocated" (I forget who)
When something is free there is going to be no limit on demand. Of course the demand is growing.
‘stensionz, nailz, rimz, grillz...
I, for one, am TAPPED OUT on this paying to feed these poor children over and over and over again. Now 3 meals a day, plus they take food home on weekends, and THEY ARE STILL GETTING ALL THE FOOD STAMPS.
Someone in the GOP needs to make an issue of this, AT LEAST propose an option that the kids either get meals at school OR the parents get the food stamps, but NOT BOTH.
The media is so incompetent in not asking these questions, as well, and just reporting on how it makes better students if the kids are not starving all the time.
Great! Let’s cancel the “fool stamps” for those families.
And at least here in GA all you have to do to get your chil on the program is say you can't afford to feed them - no checking done and no proof required.
Of course if you can't feed your chilluns you probably don't have any business dropping them in the first place, but that's another subject.
I weep for the future.
Exactly, it’s a double whammy for the taxpayer (who no one seems to care about anymore). Plus—what are these parents doing with their time?
I’ll bet a lot of ‘em don’t pay much attention anyway. Or even speak the language.
Next thing you know, they’ll start building dormmatories.
