There is never much forethought to 5 or 10 years down the road or what the actual endgame will be.
Yep. I work in consulting in the world of the federal school meal programs, and a few states have passed what is called Universal Meals where all students in all schools operating the program are fed completely free of charge.
CA already admitted they only had the surplus funds to do this for 2-3 years.
Now, families have gone several years (between Covid waivers and then Universal Meals going into effect) without paying for school food and will never ever go back to paying it again.
So if they aren't able to secure funding to continue Universal Meals and schools have to go back to charging families that don't qualify for free meals, the schools will absolutely suffer having to cover the cost themselves.
Why they wouldn't think of this ahead of time is beyond me.
