Here’s my idea of a subsidy. Let the child go ahead and buy his own meat or peanut butter, and I’ll kick in 2 slices of bread so he can have a sandwich. I have a feeling that this subsidy isn’t even limited to actual food. Seems like the definition of “subsidy” should require that the recipient have some skin in the game, but maybe that is just me, the hard-working, tax-paying bitter clinger.
If we are going to feed the children so many times, we could probably cut the EBT card benefits way back since the kids are getting free food from all these other sources.
Never worked for the government, have you?
