This isn’t about child hunger.

It’s about encouraging dependency and growing the bureaucracy.

[mewzilla]

While impoverishing the middle class to pay for it.

Deep State goes for the hat trick.

I guestimate that this country can exist for another 15-20 years. By that time homelessness , drug usage and dependent jobless people will be in the tens of millions. Also, the interest on our debt will be so high it will be unmanageable.
Then the fun really begins.

Nobody in my family took--or requested--a PENNY of financial assistance from the government!

My mother had to drop out of college after her first year because her alcoholic father--a once highly promising lawyer--drank up all the money.

After my father almost died leaving her with two children under the age of 5, she went back to college--nights, holidays, summers. She and my father studied together. I loved it. Overhearing them discuss all the academics--Homer, algebra, Karl Marx, biology, et al.--infused me with a life-long curiosity, one of the most valuable things they could have given me. I'm still studying some of the things that excited me!

My father died. We had it rough.

Mother had two courses to take when I was a senior in high school: chemistry and physics. She was terrified--couldn't believe she could pass them.

I said: "Okay. I have had both in high school. As soon as I graduate, we will both enroll in college, and I'll get you through them."

We did.

I did.

Every night, just as my father had done, I'd read a chapter, then explain it to her. I learned a lot of chemistry and physics! And my Mother graduated from college!

I then worked my way through college and medical school.

I also put my wife through four years of college--and each of my children through eight years.

After I got rich--from HARD WORK AND SELF RELIANCE!--I established a scholarship. I don't know how many people I put through college.

I have NO sympathy for people who want hand outs! Work your way through on your own steam--like I did--like my Mother did. Don't as for ME--or anyone else--to pick up your tab, PARASITES!
