Feeding kids = socialism = communism = bad devil stuff

Giving free stuff to the rich == good!

That's just good Jesus stuff.

This makes me think of a few years ago when a majority of french MPs voted against a subsidized 1€ meal for university students. And we're talking a full three-course meal. The savings in healthcare would have outweighed the cost by so much though…

Yet they will defend a clump of cells that mean nothing till the day they die.

Once they exit the womb, they are not pro life

They are not pro-anything, they are not even "pro-birth" as people often say because they don't allow for live saving procedures that could allow a mother to abort a non viable pregnancy and try again.

They are simply anti-abortion that's where their position starts and ends.

This is why I call them forced-birthers.

You're gonna have that kid if it kills you.

They don't give a duck about the fetus, they just want to tell women what to do with their bodies.

Schools have larger class sizes, a lack of supplies, they've integrated mentally challenged people into standard grades which distrupts the entire class. School lunches is only the tip of the problem.

That's a bit missing the point of why kids are going hungry at all in the first place.

I agree with this, but also the "muh tax dollars" talking point is full of flaws. We haven't even balanced the budget in almost thirty years. The government is debt spending. It's not even "your money" (whatever that would mean because greenbacks are literally state property printed by the state) because "your money" doesn't cover diddly squat.

They're printing fresh currency, and handing out bank transfers to the people at the top of the economy everyday because "your money" was handed out twice already.

Let the kids eat for free on the fucking government tab, just like you let Israel genocide for free on the government tab.

Not exactly.

The federal government has achieved fiscal balance (even surpluses) in just seven periods since 1776, bringing in enough revenue to cover all of its spending during 1817-21, 1823-36, 1852-57, 1867-73, 1880-93, 1920-30 and 1998-2001. We have also experienced six depressions. They began in 1819, 1837, 1857, 1873, 1893 and 1929.

Kelton: Balanced budget? Huge mistake

I'm not calling for a balanced budget. I'm saying "muh tax dollars" is a shit argument.

[–] belastend@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 days ago

No large economy has a balanced budget.

Except Germany for some years. Which led to us now having an infrastructure debt of 400 billion.
