Before we spend money to bring in 10,000 Syrians. Let's feed our students first.

Nice to see how the issue of refugees has certain people suddenly concerned about our domestic need. Funny how giving billions to the likes of Israel and Egypt over the course of decades somehow wasn't able to produce the same result from the same people.

What happened to if you didn't want to remake Iraq you hated America? What happened to using taxes to fix our infrastructure being a dirty liberal tax and spend stunt? Amazing what a little xenophobia and fear can do to people.

First strike: a "news" story from Fox news.
Second strike: Fox news neglected to say what the fines were for.
Third strike: all public schools in the US DO provide free breakfast and lunch for those who cannot afford them.

You're outta here!

Yes, Syrian refugees are the reason why Kentucky school district's lunches aren't paid for.
GOP is free to pass a law that provides free lunches to all students at any time and send it to Obama.

Hmm, how about we try to help lots of people instead of just deciding it has to be one group or another?

This is interesting and I think we've cracked the case! In order to get conservatives interested in helping brown people in America we just have to threaten to help brown people outside of America.

Progress!

Couldn't we do both? I didn't read the link but don't you agree someone making more than 50k cam afford to buy their kids lunch?

Wait! Lock the gate. There are brown people in Kentucky? Better hope Trump doesn't find out.

This song is from 1971. Not much has changed in 44 years.

I'd Love to Change the World

Ten Years After

Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity
Tax the rich, feed the poor
'Til there are no rich no more

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money, No none for me

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

Oh yeah!

World pollution, there's no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Senators stop the war

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

Most of the heavy lifting is done through charities. Funny how people always find something more pressing when an issue they don't agree with pops up, but otherwise they don't give a flip.

We should use the money instead to provide free meals to all of our students. The fact that we have students who have to go hungry to school is ridiculous.

You know you could just save the money by not giving Israel and other countries a penny and we'd have enough to make everyone happy in America.

Can't have that can we? We need angry voters to turn them out to the polls.

Establishment politics lies as usual.

You forgot the false dichotomy fallacy. We could do either or both.

Haha, not starving is spoiled. :D

I wish I had gotten breakfast at school also as then I would had to wake up 5 minutes later and gotten more sleep. :p

Also what kind of high school kid still eats school lunch and doesn't bring it from home?
