[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It makes me sick that families that make under $50K cannot get FARMS meals for their children, but families that make up to $300K are going to be eligible for $10K reduction in their student loans.

The free breakfast lunch program costs about $10-11B to run.  The student loan forgiveness is going to cost about $321B.

Talk about terrible priorities.  The administration and Congress need to start rethinking their priorities and to figure out what helps those who need the most help.  And no, I am not in the affected population.  We make enough that we do not need the meal program.  But I feel for those families who make between median HHI and the qualification for SNAP or WIC (which is the borderline for FARMS).  Those people need the help a lot more than a bunch of rich doctors, lawyers and professionals need help paying for loans that they should have been paying for years.[/quote]

Couldn't agree more.  Elected leaders (even locally) are so out-of-touch with the realities of their constituents and they are seemingly incapable of actually analyzing the complexities of a situation to understand what would actually SOLVE a problem versus bandaid a symptom.[/quote]
