National School Lunch Program

This is the main culprit, most states have removed all requirements around need to qualify and just give lunches for free to all kids.

I want to see the numbers with this removed.

Yep, they snuck in something that pretty much every kid is forced to use, since they can’t even bring home lunches anymore, and then claim that’s receiving aid.

The lunches are free...
There’s nothing in them to eat, but they’re free.

That’s a really bad indicator of the future of America.

It drives me nuts to see commercials on tv asking me to contribute at Christmas to “food insecure” families who are getting 100 bucks a month per person in food stamps plus free school lunch and breakfast 5 days a week.

And the adults they live with will never, ever vote for someone who intends to take it away from them.

More Bull Cheese “facts”.

Earlier today I saw a thread stating there are 2.5 million homeless children in America. Never mind the fact there are only 633,782 homeless people in the USA; they want you to believe anything.

the non working poor people have so much time and energy on their hands that they can produce lots of children often with a wide number of daddies....

life is grand.

I wonder if the figure for National School Lunch Program participants includes kids who pay the full (albeit subsidized) price? I understand that there is means testing for free or reduced-price (capped at 40 cents) lunches, but kids above the poverty level have to pay a higher price.

Sorry, but that’s incorrect, at least in some states... Means tests are GONE in many states. “Free” lunches for all.

Yup. Just like moving from Food Stamps to debit cards, it eliminates the stigma.

Cut down the numbers by forced sterilization after 2. If they can’t keep their legs together and zipper their pants, then the government needs to do it for them since they seem to think the government is responsible for everything.

I don’t think there is any stigma anymore.
This has gone on for so many years that it’s truly considered an entitlement by users.

I had this printed up and I mail it to people asking for donations:

We have a President who was elected (twice) by telling his supporters that I am rich and greedy.

He told them he’d help them by taking more money from me FOR them.

Now, I can’t give to the charities of MY choice as I always did, because my income is so diminished and I am struggling myself.

If you still need assistance, I suggest you contact the people this President hired to take money from me on YOUR behalf.

I have sent this out numerous times
