Boy you people will bitch about anything. Its not like you’ll get that tax money back if they don’t spend it. Its gonna get spent on something no matter what. How low and pathetic are you people to complain about feeding children??
Thank you for posting this, I was thinking the same thing. There are a few posters on this site that will complain no matter what and they know who they are.
Ridiculous waste of taxpayer money. This certainly is not “free”. You and I are paying for it.
Outrageous!
Yes, it is really expensive. It probably cost you about the price of that 15th beer you consumed last night.
16th
I thought childhood obesity was the problem. Now I hear most kids are hungry. Which is it?? Still going to make them walk up to two blocks? That is cruel. At least they could drop them off at the feeding station.
It’s SO complicated isn’t it!?!?! It’s almost like there’s more to issues than the simple two sided dichotomy the media wants you to believe.
What’s worse is the message the kids get. That if your a loser you get free stuff.
But what if the parents of those kids are farmers who now can’t sell their soybeans to the Chinese because of Trump? So now they don’t have the money to feed their kids? Even the socialist government farm subsidies aren’t enough to feed them!!
But will the free busses to the free food get out the the rural area? I doubt it, so now the parents will have to watch their kids die. They are helpless to do anything about it.
It must be very hard for you to breathe with your head so far up your ass.
Great. This way parents can sell their food stamps for cash . Other people’s job to feed their kids.
Please explain the word (Free) You mean the food cost nothing, the employees don’t make nothing? Grounds upkeep don’t cost nothing?
I don’t think free is free. My taxes don’t look like everything cost nothing. Why do I have to fund these FREE, Cost Nothin, programs
Unfortunately, The daily school lunch is the only meal that some kids get. When there is no school, those kids don’t get a decent meal.
If mom and dad could just cut out 1 pack a day, they could feed their own kids
You don’t have to fund these organizations. Move.
Why don’t you move? California would be better suited to you. No sense in ruining another state with your socialist ideas. You are truly a DONKEY.
You’re the one who said he doesn’t want to fund these things. This is the United States. We do things like that , you know, take care of those who can’t take care of themselves. These are children. I am surprised you didn’t tell them to get a job. I am pretty sure you are against abortion rights too. Save an unborn child, kill the living.
Donkey girl: You know not of what you speak.
Anonymouth, Care to explain your comment? I didn’t think so. You have nothing to add to a conversation that isn’t a putdown or a slam.
bodacious, you know that the commenter is none other than L*V*S, the old dumbass.
You know, that stupid old coot and Marqart ass-kisser that is nothing more than a useless old POS.
Even his family is embarrased and ashamed of him.
The best thing that L*V*S could do is to check into Elmwood….very soon.
Russia fits you better.
