Students are encouraged to apply for free lunch even if you're rich and you're gonna bring your own lunch. It's because the govt doesn't send the money to the cafeteria director. It goes to the school's general fund. So, the extra money coming in that is never used for food goes to important stuff...like an artificial turf for the football field.

Blacks only make up 13% of the population. Like Ann Coulter said the United States will basically become Mexico. The immigrants will find the US will become like place they were fleeing. I know they don’t want to hear this, but they’d be better off building the country they want in their home country. Stay and fight for their home.


The problem is they aren’t capable of it. That being said, they don’t have to commit crimes and live in filth either.

It’s worse than that.

The more kids that qualify for free or reduced lunch means the more federal dollars the school gets. Not just for lunch.

So much for the BS about hard working Hispanics. Just as shiftless as the others.

Bring back the concept of the poor farm or the urban version of it.

I remember my father telling me it is exactly what he learned in college in late 70's. The Welfare program would spit out dependent societal groups that ultimately pressure the whole.

Not really.

If school lunches count in this as welfare, then that means the numbers drop for every race if you remove it, and blacks and hispanics are still well in the lead.

That’s not accurate. You’re misremembering something.

It's not even a matter of choice. By the time 3rd generation from now rolls around, the US will be long bankrupt and the dollar will be defunct. This has to stop, and reverse, ASAP. It's a matter of survival for the country.

The other possibility is that a lower percentage ever manage to move to higher income levels. Working at low wage jobs qualifies you for welfare in this country. Which is why illegal immigration is a net drain on govt finances. They don't pay enough taxes to offset the cost of dependency.

The small text in the chart says that this includes Medicaid, which makes this thread title misleading. The general perception of welfare is food stamps and Section 8.

I think I’m going to ask for some verification of that data.
