For the love of Pete, why can not these poor/pseudo-poor/crazy-check people do what we do and brown bag lunch for the kids? Why should tax payers pay for high-$$$ obama-chow when a brown bag lunch of sandwich, fruit, and drink is so cheap?
Hell, I have gotten to where I charge my kids if they forget the lunch I made for them. The school won't let them go hungry as they ought to, so I get charged when the kiddos forget to grab it from the fridge or table. First week of charging them, the practice of "forgetting" their lunch when the school was serving something tasty stopped, butt cold. "See, you had saved up enough money for the doll/video game you wanted, but now you are $4 short. Too bad you forgot your lunch..."
