[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 487181, member: 983"] The one subject rule can go both ways. If someone comes in with a messy, complex amendment, it won’t stand. But if you have a well thought out proposal and don’t want the govt to screw it up, you have to limit it to one subject. SD has this same rule. Take legalizing cannabis. That subject has lots of depth. You need to safely sell it and tax it, among other things. With single subject, it’s either legal or not. The government then has to define all the rules and laws. Is that good or bad? Depends. In SD our legislators were not willing to put in the work to figure out those big questions after the vote. Unfortunately too much outside interest pushed some messy amendments in and caused the mess for us. As for feeding kids, I saw the impact when teaching during COVID. Meals were free through that. Breakfast was the marked change I saw. Kids who came in dragging were there early to eat. They were sharper to start the day. It made an impact. Some of those kids came from rough places. Others came from parents who were too crappy or lazy to fill out the paperwork for free meals. Education is the biggest factor in breaking out of generational poverty. Cut the welfare in a lot of places but let’s keep them fed at school without any restraints. It isn’t the kids fault that mom and dad didn’t think about the cost of raising a kid. Or are too lazy to fill out paperwork. It’s a simple bridge to get kids into the world better prepared. And not on welfare in the future. It takes one hungry ahole to completely derail an elementary classroom. It has an impact on every kid in the class. Small price, big impact. [/QUOTE]
