So we’re going to pump more cash into the economy while stifling productivity. Where do they think that will lead?
Pretty soon we will have $50 loaves of bread and will be no better off than we were before. And we’ll be worse off because some people who might otherwise have been increasing their skill sets were no longer motivated to do so, so an essential brain drain. Heading towards Idiocracy.

The unvaccinated is what is stifling the economy. Let's not lose focus here.

No. Blame the blue state dictators who got us into this mess. Unvaccinated had nothing to do with it. Many of them are the front-line workers who never collected a penny of unemployment this entire time. Yet now, those same "Heros" are under pressure to receive a vaccine many of them do not want, else be forced out of their jobs and careers.

This would be great. Other countries provide free lunch for all their students.

Maybe if it was actually a decent lunch - which it's not.

Michelle tried to provide a decent lunch and the GOP lambasted her for it.

LOL.

Absurd exactly describes today's left-wing. Not satire. Truly absurd.

The liberals are working really hard to make Obama's "The Life of Julia" a reality for all Americans.

“The Life of Julia” is the ideological vision of modern liberalism – to create a state that takes care of its people from cradle to grave.

No thanks.

Lmao. Watch as millions making $60,001 - 99,999 go quit their jobs on purpose to make $60,000 so that they can get the $40k. Why teach schools when you can be a part time loser barista at a cafe and make more money w a $40k free handout and less stress?

This is so funny. I'm a teacher and that's exactly what I thought I'd do when I read the PP's post.

The NYT recently had an article about a woman with five kids who manages a trailer park. She made half of what I make before covid hit. With unemployment benefits and weekly subsidy payments and what no, she ended up more than doubling her income and she made more than me last year. Meanwhile,I worked 80-hour weeks all of last year trying to create engaging online lessons, got no step increase and a 2% raise for "heroic efforts."

That is, if they could be implemented the way they are in Japan where kids are responsible for serving and cleaning up the meal, and cleaning the classroom, and the food is actually pretty good and reasonably healthy, but nooooooooo, here we’d have “MY kid is in school to LEARN not fill plates and sweep floors” kind of BS.

They just started getting $300 per kid, per month. That's taxpayer money, too. Let them use that to buy their kids lunches. We can't keep handing out money left and right, especially to people earning $150,000.

Here in my county, ALL kids, regardless of income, are getting free lunches - and I live in an affluent county with the average HHI about $130K. Why should Nana making do on $45,000 a year (SS + savings) have to pitch in to feed the kids of a couple earning $150,000? It's ridiculous, and it's just liberals trying to buy votes.

Oh yes it’s just great...our school throws away lunches for 90% of the kids every day because they aren’t wanted. Our school also started just handing out the breakfasts as take home snacks bc none of the kids wanted those either.

Total waste of money and food.

Why should we be providing any of these???? (which aren't free at all)

-Guaranteed income
-Free housing (for the time being... forget the landlords0
-Free utilities (Rashida Tlaib)
-Free college and college debt forgiveness
-Monthly child care payments
-"Free" healthcare
-Free preschool
-Government funded long term care for seniors and disabled

Why should we be providing free lunches to people who can afford to pay for them?

Other countries have much smaller populations and much higher taxes to fund social programs.
