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.

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 would imagine the .40 cents or so it takes to prepare the lunch is more than offset by the 5 per head count that Unka Sugah is willing to spring for.
It sort of encourages even the most HONEST people to fudge.

The program will REALLY hit its stride when Unka starts paying 10 bucks per head for those that DON’T eat there..which will then result in the system getting 10 bucks a student for NOT eating, then the state/school discourages those from eating.

While each individual school may not reap a whole lot of profit though if you have 1000 students in your school the 10 grand a day adds up to some pretty nice bonuses for creative bookeeping and you can then ‘can’ all those ‘lunch ladies’ so not only no lunches, no kitchen, no staff, each administrator will be getting a bonus for saving money WHILE stealing from the same people.

Gosh, Liberalism is great....
