Beat me to it. That paragraph jumped out at me as well. And that doesn’t even include all of the programs, like WIC.
And yes, you have that right on school meals. The main school district in Houston offers free breakfast and lunch to all students year round. They recently expanded it to include the only 1/3 of students who were not already eligible under a means tested program.
But if we are feeding these kids breakfast and lunch, why are their parents getting food stamps for the same meals?
A question often asked, never answered (although we already know why).

Because the entire welfare system is a colossal scam. Schools should have never been made responsible for feeding anyone, period. And the SNAP program should be terminated immediately.
