given the amount of spending this nation does, we cut costs on kids, attending school? WTF?

Gotta make room for the tax cut for the wealthy.

Gotta cull the herd of poor kids too.

But that aside, most poor children only get 3 square meals because they go to school. They learn things better and faster and develop their bodies better when they aren't malnurished. The whole idea of cutting funding for free school meals is counterproductive to getting a good education. I'd like to hear the rationale for cutting this funding from a few conservatives. It makes no national sense.

All the more reason to have a father in the house and a proper economy.

What? Are conservatives now going to mandate a father?

If only we could.

Well, you can't, so you need a Plan B, free school lunches, so that poor kids don't suffer the failings of their family situation.

and, what do you do about the 56% of households that fail your criteria?

What would be the point…the last time we had this discussion we couldn’t even agree on the difference between a root cause and something that perpetuates itself.

So, I see no point in trying again.

I made a comment about this in the "low-hanging fruit" thread.
