Why stop there?

Maybe public schools should buy clothing for children, take them to the doctor and teach them to walk.

Dem bill would expand school lunch program to weekends, holidays

Four House Democrats have proposed legislation that would expand school lunch programs to weekends and holidays.

Rep.

...this is what’s next. Year round meals. This is how dems get what they want. By starting out slowly and convincing “low info voters” that it’s common sense.

IF PARENTS CAN’T FEED THEIR CHILD, THEN THAT CHILD NEEDS TO BE TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM!!! It’s the most BASIC of all things.

Spend, spend, spend.

Why not free cars, booze and cigarettes?
The government will give everything for your votes!
