re: Thoughts on kids and school lunches

<-- As small government conservative / libertarian as there is, but I have no problem with free lunches for the school kiddos. My kids are in Livingston Parish schools, and we had to pay for their lunches for 3-4 years until the Flood. Since then, their lunches have been free.

The actual financial cost wasn't significant for our middle class family, but I could see it posing a financial burden for single parents, etc. It ultimately poses more of an acute issue for kids whose parents can't pay. That's why I'm okay with the cost of public education including the cost of a basic, standard meal for everyone there.

And, I absolutely hate this logic, but in the grand scheme of governmental handouts, the cost of feeding schoolkids is minuscule. For that matter, non-Medicaid welfare in general is a minuscule portion of this country's debt.
