It's like they say, universal free school meals leads to a lazy population and communism.
Jokes aside, I really don't understand their fear of anything that resembles socialized programs.

What a weird priority to have.
Of all the things to rally people aroundβ¦
Children should not have to bring money to school to eat. A nutritious and tasty meal should be provided free. Their only worries in school should be whether they studied enough to pass an exam, not on their grumbling stomachs. This is dystopian garbage.

The one bright side of this article is that it's coming from The New Republic, which is traditionally more conservative. And the author is calling out how sad this plan is.
edit: I'm wrong? This never happens! see reply below.

Pure cruelty. Our taxes ment to be used to help people and this means more then paving roads (which in the US isn't done). I'm sick of this idea the government needs to cut spending but then they just cut social programs that is the whole point of having a government.....
I used to work for a small, family owned business. At lunch the wife of the owner was reading an article in paper and said, "90% of this school district is close enough to the poverty line that they receive free/reduced breakfast and lunch, because there's a good chance those are their only reliable meals for the week." Then she looks up from the paper and says "Can you believe that? They're giving away breakfast now, too!"
Yessh...is this a lack of compassion or empathy. I have a feeling it's the latter that cause the former. They can't see past their own lives and that lead them to think anyone that needs help isn't doing enough. Besides all that giving food for free to children shouldn't even be a issue. Hell is shouldn't matter rich or poor kids at school should just be feed. This program in the grand scheme wouldn't even cost that much (as other countries have proven)

Republicans ensuring the US will continue wandering the path to a 3rd world country.
- cut Social Security and Medicare
- make Trumpβs tax cuts for the top 1 percent permanent
- impose work requirements on βall federal benefit programs,β like food stamps and Medicare
- extend work requirements on those aged 55β64
- bring back all of twice-impeached and twice-arrested former President Donald Trumpβs deregulations, including the weakening of environmental protection.
Well then

I am not American... But I have to say, this sounds just so comically evil it seems something only a badly written cartoon villain would say, like "I will kick all puppies and banish chocolate"

Can somebody please think off the children!!
Oh wait..
I'm just sad for the US now. Hope you guys will get better times soon.
So depriving children of food is a "priority" for them. I don't know how to describe that other than "disgraceful".
Meanwhile, they literally get free lunch. It's some ridiculous stipend over $100 a day. Tax corporations and the 1%, no never. Starving children though, excellent idea. Can't get kick backs from a single parent who's struggling. Plus we can use the money we saved to give Uvalde another armored vehicle. That'll help the children. We are truly screwed.
Vote em out! not voting is complacency. Not voting is showing that this is acceptable.
I'm not saying voting is the only action needed, but it is an absolute bear minimum.
These chucklefucks always seem to choose the more expensive way of going about it in the name of saving taxpayers money. Abject morons.
