$1.75 is kinda steep for a school breakfast. Ours is a buck, I think.

Well, that's just it. Most of the parents who take advantage of these lunches will be sure to spend $3 a day on cigarettes or else those kids will be wearing brand name clothing head to toe.

My BIL and his wife had a daughter a few years ago. She got on WIC. But, they always made it a point to have their daughter in POLO clothes and brand name sneakers.

Yes we have family members that subscribe to the entitlement doctrine. They also eat and dress better than we would ever dream of. Yes, WA state has steep everything....thanks to the DEMOCRATS. We have cheap car plates bacause the voters passed a law limiting the plates to $35 a year.

"But, they always made it a point to have their daughter in POLO clothes and brand name sneakers."

That stuff doesn't bother me. As a Mom who could've easily afforded those types of clothes for her kids, I bought them...used, at Goodwill, LOL! Maybe your SIL is doing the same? It's amazing to me what the Rich Folk donate, but it makes the rest of us look good, too.

That whole "designer duds" fight started for me when the kids were 12 years old or so. If they wanted "designer" they bought it with their alloted breakfast meal money and went hungry. (Just kiddin'!)

I'm really surprised there hasn't been ONE voice of dissent here on this issue. I thought for sure some bleeding heart would show up and accuse us of starving little non-aborted children and being Evil Conservatives. Maybe it's still too early? ;)
