My kid qualifies for free school lunch anyway, so she qualifies either way, but her friends either slip through the cracks or have overworked parents and they legit don't qualify now, but now skip breakfast (except when my daughter shares). The really nice thing about every single kids getting a free breakfast and lunch at school was that no one was ever singled out. The military funding dwarfing feeding children is filed under "of course", but it was nice for a little while. Add this to things Dems can't brag about.
That's a really big thing -- the singling out of people who rely on them. Providing them for everyone creates a really good learning environment for kids who need them without feeling different. It's not a problem with the kids, its a policy and societal failure.
We will fund the military if it takes millions of suffering children to do so gosh darn it! In my slowly unstable reality it seems the ultimate goal in US is to eliminate all commoners.

No surprise. Sadly and sickly, military spending gets them re-elected, not the school lunch program.
Yeah, never an issue when funding the military and super easy to use and make you look "strong" in political rhetoric.

That's definitely what it seems like but, good lord is that unsustainable. At some point people won't be able to bend anymore, they'll simply break.
