Calling everything “free” when it’s paid for by taxpayers is intentionally misleading School lunches paid by taxpayers is something I support, but calling them free is disingenuous, someone has to pay for it

Do you think every child in the country should be given free lunch

Getting something for free does not mean that it was free to produce. It’s really a simple topic. If I steal a car, does that mean it had no value to the last person bc I didn’t have to pay for it?

Comparing free school lunches to stealing a car really doesn’t help the “people” who complain about Free School Lunches beat the dumbass allegations.

As an econ major, keep believing that. To break it down for just how easy it would be, $35 billion yearly estimate divided by 274.5 million Americans of working age is $127.50 per taxpayer per year. However, we have a progressive federal tax system ranging from 10% to 37% meaning the highest earning Americans would bear much more of a burden compared to the everyday worker.

no one here has taken an economics class and calls us stupid in every post, money is what makes the world go around, if you don’t know how it works, you don’t know how anything works

Other solutions might not even see a tax increase. 22% of our budget is to subsidize boomers dying comfortably and 13% of our budget is to subsidize boomers living longer. That’s 35% of our budget going towards 19-20% of our population, or over $2.7 TRILLION! It’s also a fairly useless portion of the population who have already lived a full life compared to children who have so much potential.

Just read ur comment on “free.” If it were up to me, I’d force Aramark to just fucking do it or threaten total annihilation. Reagan gave out tons of free cheese from the government cheese caverns, the only cost was buying the cheese long before to stabilize dairy prices

Got distracted on cheese, back to math. Our yearly federal spending on seniors could pay for 77 years of universal school lunches. That’s not even including state programs like rent rebates, free senior public transit, and cheap vehicle registration renewals, nor does it include municipal programs such as property tax freezes like PA and Philly have respectively. The biggest obstacles to ‘free’ school lunch are idiots, seniors, and the fact that children can’t influence politicians like boomers

How the hell am I comparing it free school lunches when you didn’t even mention it in your post idiot? I didn’t say shit about free school lunches, I was just rebuking your point that something is free if you didn’t pay for it. If you would’ve asked me you’d know I support free school lunches at taxpayers expense. Which even then, although it’s free for the kids, the taxpayers are paying for it. I didn’t say shit about lunch so don’t put words in my mouth, all i said was your point that “if you

There’s literally a common saying “no such thing as a free lunch”. When you say free lunch, everyone thinks you mean that not legit school lunches.
