Watsonville is a small city on the Central Coast of California. It is 85% Latino, with 85% of the births at the community hospital covered by Medical (Medicaid) and 85% of the students at the local schools participating in the free lunch program. I would like to remind the reporter that there is no such thing as a free lunch. What caught my eye was:

Families that qualify also are eligible for discounted Internet service from Comcast


So these folks who can't feed their kids get a break on their cable TV bill. Makes you just want to get up and go to work in the morning.

Why would families be struggling to get by? Maybe because of anti-family government policies?

Free lunch? No such thing. And now “discounted” Internet service? That is discrimination! I don’t get a discount. Do you really think that will be an issue? Don’t hold your breath.

That is fast internet service for $10 a month for up to 2 years, subsidized by YOU.

How wonderful, right?

40 cents times 3 kids is $1.20 per day. That’s less than 200 bucks per school year.

Quit your god damned whining and pay for your OWN DAMNED KIDS!!,

Local TV in Houston today reported on the large percentage increase of 5-14 year olds in the top ten cities. Every city has a large black population or a large Hispanic population. They’re the ones having kids.
