all lunches should be free

Maybe grocery stores should be banned. Set up meal locations for everyone. Solve our countries obesity problem. No one ever goes hungry.

feeding kids is some tax money I'm happy to pay. I guess it is much cheaper for taxpayers to pay for abortions than pregnancy, birth, welfare, education, and incarnation many of the kids will cost. BUT I'm still anti abortion and not going to adopt any of the unwanted kids either. ( had enough of that mess and dynamics with my adopted brother and sisters) So feel a bit like a hypocrite.

Question. If .gov didn't write the check for you, would you write a check to feed the kids? If so, why is it necessary to pay the salaries to people to write a check when you're able to write your own?

This is why they do it. They steal your money in an attempt to buy votes from people who will be owing to them for their next hand out.
Some people will help out, some won’t on their own.
It is not the governments job to raise children much less adults.
But here we are, with no cuts to these programs in sight because politicians need votes. Funny how you can’t figure out you need to take care of your kids but you can vote yourselves another check.
