Free Lunch

I BELEIVE in Jesus but I don't believe in Socialism...

Just so I can help tell the difference, are farm subsidies socialism, or good ol' capitalism?

It’s their parents fault.

National Security.

They used to. And did just fine. But at that time they parented.

Yes, in the 1890’s.

I'm trying to figure out who's going to benefit from this? What's the angle? What's the Grift? Who's the ultimate beneficiary from doing things differently?

Some nonprofits are legit. Many are not. They don’t exist to solve problems, they exist for self preservation. If the problem was actually solved, they’d go out of business.
My answer to “ who benefits?”is, all the groups who support socialism. When “Free” lunch passes, they will move on to “Free” college, Loan forgiveness , “ free” healthcare etc
As the great Milton Friedman said, there is no free lunch

I’m all for ending government programs and making people fend for themselves. Some of the biggest complainers about giving a kid free lunch is accepting hundreds of thousands in ag subsidies. Not that much different. If you suck at something you should go out of business and let somebody more efficient complete the job.
