So why the hell do you think the school is doing this? What is the conspiracy if jts not to get kids who are ashamed to eat their lunch to eat?
Where are they going to go? Help me out here, because if high taxes and coddling the poor is driving them away, a “better place” sure isn’t going to be Canada or any country in Europe.
I wasn’t the one who brought up the argument about the “next generation” in the first place.
If only there were a way to look up the tax rates of different countries.
What’s next? The unemployed get a free car because they’re too embarrassed to take the bus?
It’s a bullshit need that hurts kids down the road.
Please tell me why the school is doing this?
socialists be crazy.
Seriously?
Ok. So one theory is that people who live and work in the community every day are trying out an innovative solution to a problem they’ve observed, and the other theory is that they are mentally unsound commies.
Commies? heavens no.
People work in communities every day and vote in all manner of stupid in the name of innovative solutions to problems that don’t exist. This is why we’re so heavily in debt. Unless you’re prepared to demonstrate there are children starving out of embarrassment you’re flinging nonsense. If such an earth shattering crisis existed it was “solved” years ago buy replacing welfare food coupons with pay cards indistinguishable from other pay cards.
But I’m curious. How is the school going to enforce this free lunch? Will packed lunches be force-ably removed from students along with disciplinary action? If these students refuse to eat the lunch because they’re embarrassed by being forced to endure charity what is going to be your cure for this innovative solution?
I’m also curious what you think will happen if debt continues to increase until we become Greece and there isn’t money for real problems.
That bit about Greece is a canard. Greece was ruled by a brutal right-wing military regime, supported by the United States, for decades. That dictatorship’s corrupt, venal upper crust is still very strong in Greek society, with all that that entails. Greece is not in trouble because of too much socialism, if that were the case then Germany some other European countries would not be in the far more advantageous position that they are in.
The US could (and must!) instead jettison the Empire and then wonder what to do with all the money saved.
Yeah, if we are discussing aces to save government money, I have more than a few suggestions.
