Free Lunch For Every Student?

Posted by Train Dude on Wed Apr 23 12:42:05 2014

It will be so if mayor diLousio has his way. It's based on the hypothesis that free lunch for all would remove the stigma of free lunch for just the economically disadvantaged students. So what's next, mayor deLousio?

Food Stamps for all to reduce the stigma of poor people using food stamps to buy food?
HEAT Subsidies for all so the poor don't feel stigmatized by public assistance to heat their homes?
Welfare for all so the poor will no longer feel stigmatized by getting their monthly check?
Medicare for all, so the poor are no longer the only group with free health care.
Free cell phones for all?
Maybe a new car for every citizen every 3 years? No then the illegals will be left out.

Mayor DeBlasio doesn't sit on the City Council. Also, from the article:

Mayor de Blasio’s preliminary budget, presented in February, didn’t include a universal free lunch program

What about kids who bring their own lunch?

They'll be ostracized or ridiculed or whatever, for coming from a household like that.

Can we have some more nonsequiturs, Captain Obvious? Do you also think people assume that the POTUS sits in either the House or the Senate?

Preliminary budgets are preliminary budgets. And it's up to the council to approve the budget. The fight is just starting, if this issue is the sticking point.

That is something all of us can agree on. Said post is officially in the running or at least in the conversation for "Post of the Year"

Yes; I've noticed that most liberals never carefully read the article even when the entire text is posted. Such as the phrase "preliminary budget". And then looking up the powers of the NYC Council.

Weak.

Train Dude says DeBlasio wants free school lunches for everyone.

RIPTA says that according to the article DeBlasio hasn't been involved in the proposal.

You say that maybe in the future DeBlasio might agree to the free lunches because the City Council will demand that in its budget negotiations.

Nothing in the NYDN article suggests he doesn't; not even the preliminary budget.

Nice way to get what one wants via reverse psychology. Think about how Obama gets everything he wants out of the "opposition" in Congress.

Text corrected.

Can we have some more conclusions or statements that do not logically follow from the previous arguments or statements, Captain Obvious? Do you also think people assume that the POTUS sits in either the House or the Senate?

"Conclusion" from concludere . . . "argument" from arguere . . . "statement" from status and -amentum. ("Logic" is from λόγος.)

For the second or twentieth time, I am the acknowledged leader of the classical languages on this board and so it follows I can use Latin/Latin derivation/Latin declension at times of my choosing. Nobody else except for the whimsical John L can. What don't you get?

"You are not qualified to respond to anything I post here."


LOL......I am more than qualified since I live in NYC and I pay that taxes that support this free lunch program. You on the other are not qualified at all since you live all the way out in Islip, Suffolk County, NY. You have no ties whatsoever with NYC other than being a loudmouth and a sore loser. Case closed Edith.

A stunning case of rectal-cranial inversion without spilling the soup. Congrats! :)

I love how righties can make up their own shit and then go on the warpath condemning it and blaming everybody else for what they did. :)

Except for the new car thing, that list actually *isn't* a bad idea. If the government covers the baseline expenses for everyone in the US, minimum wage laws become unnecessary: if the job pays so little for the work required that literally doing nothing is better, then that is what will happen. Unemployment insurance would no longer be necessary either. It also would reduce crime by providing another option than: "well, I can either become homeless, or commit various crimes for money until I get caught, and then it's 3 hots and a cot."

Right now it seems like a bad idea. In 30 years when automation and outsourcing have eliminated half the American jobs, something like that will be necessary to avoid a police state or anarchy.

We're actually pretty much there already. Time to start implementing it.
