‘Whoever said there’s no such thing as a free lunch has never dined with Uncle Sam.’
11th December 2012
Even as the nation teeters on the edge of the fiscal cliff, the feds have found $30 million in extra lunch money to shower on city schoolchildren in the name of hurricane relief.
New York City’s 1.1 million public-school students can each get a free school lunch every day in December (and could have last month, too) — even if their homes were undamaged by the superstorm or they have no financial need.
The need here is on the part of the Crust for people to look to the government for their daily bread. Financial need is not even on the radar.
