Just A Doggone Minute
By Mitch Berg
Governor Klink, and Co-Governor Flanagan have been yapping nonstop about their “free lunch and breakfast for kids“ program.
So I was amazed to see this:
If kids are getting 10 of the weeks 21 meals at school, how are they going hungry?
Or is the school feeding program financed by the feds through the back door?

There’ll dead and dying children in the streets! Thousands!
Of course, Lars is just using those hypothetical chillun to cover up his fear that people (aka tax payers) might find out just what a scam he and his ilk are running.

The question that comes to mind for me is that with free breakfast and lunch at school, WIC, SNAP, and all the other food programs, how any child makes it through school at less than 600 pounds.
Of course, reality is that either the kids are simply ignoring all that food, or they’re selling it for crack and the like.

It’s always the meat inspectors. I say “Government pisses away money, we must reduce the waste.” Liberals retort “Oh, so you want tainted meat?”
Nobody said anything about laying off meat inspectors but that’s the first program Liberals jump to to defend spending. It’s always all-or-nothing with them. Same here – we must keep giving billions to Ukraine or else 85,000 Minnesota children will go hungry.
Hey Lars, how about you get off your ass and organize a charity to feed the starving children? Find a food bank willing to help. Rally the Boy Scouts to cook pancakes. Ask the Ladies Guild at church to make hotdishes. See if the Lions will grill brats. What would you do it it was a tornado or hurricane – wait around for President Biden to ride in on a unicorn waving ham sandwiches? Step up, Lars, be a man, do something for your community besides bitch.

The hallway beatdowns on YouTube will suffer if the “students” are too weak from hunger to jump high enough to clear a kids head.

Isn’t the school lunch program run through the FDA? Or the Ag department? I know that most of the grants that finance soup kitchens come from the feds, tho I suppose the states are involved at some level.

Why is it that these rat bastards never volunteer to go un paid to help their victims, I mean constituents?!
I’ll give Matt Gaetz credit for telling the appropriate entity to withhold his pay until this was resolved. God forbid ANYONE else does it!

Poll mentioned by leftard wh*re on Fox:: NBC poll (giggle) says 56% of people don’t care about the Bribin Biden hearings, but are concerned about a gummint shutdown. Bi*ch, aint 6% of the population KNOWS there might be a shutdown, and they are hoping FOR it.

My 16 year old stepson informs me the free food at school is inedible. But he’s picky. Many of the kids eat it so their parents can afford cigarettes, alcohol, weed, crack, and meth.

“The government shut down for 36 days in 2018 and nobody noticed.”
Cynical, self-serving jackals, the lot of them.
I’m torn between deciding between the following.
These people know how outlandish their politics are but carry on regardless in a cynical attempt to get power.
Or
These people are really so dumb that they can’t understand the stupidity of their views.
I suspect it’s a mixture of both types of people.
It typically means Republicans have a majority in the House and there is a Democrat is in the White House.
Despite rhetoric of fiscal prudence Republicans always seem to come out of office with a much higher deficit, typically following an egregious unfunded tax cut for the wealthy.
Surely the American people understand this, right?

Regarding the quality of the school lunch, it’s always been highly dependent on who was running things–some food service directors (like my late mother) took great care to make the food “a lot closer to decent restaurant quality”, but all too many are basically piling the ingredients together to get the required calories, servings of each food group, and the like with a careful eye on overall cost.
I’m guessing that the “mean” is much closer to “just pile all those calories together”, and hence I refer you back to my first comment; given that (my mother is the source) each food program tends to provide x% of daily calories (typically 35%), and thus when you get 4-5 programs all working together, you get a lot of super fat kids.
Really, given WIC & SNAP, my take is that Social Services ought to get involved when kids are coming to school hungry. “OK, Mom and/or Dad, your child is coming to school without getting one of the most basic necessities of life….tell us now why Junior can’t get a bowl of Cheerios before coming to school when you’re getting $835 per month in SNAP benefits, plus WIC?”
