Ok Christine, I'll take your approach...poor starving children all across America should never go without food. They should always have a warm bed to sleep in and a full tummy. To honestly believe that I would want our children to go hungry is absolutely ridiculous nonsense. Therefore, I can only conclude that you make those types of statements just to to get a desired negative response. I spend 2 nights a month actually going out on the streets and feeding sandwiches and warm blankets to America's teenage runaway children. To suggest that I would want them to starve is nothing more than elevated hate speech. You are truly famous for this kind of charade talk whenever your logic is shown to be twisted. Why I am the least surprised, I'm not quite sure. How would I solve the problem? First I would turn the school lunch programs into private enterprises, as was demonstrated in that article. Then over time, if a lot of other factors had converged, like "privatizing schools" I would decouple the program from the private school system entirely. While at the same time, ensuring NO child went hungry or in need of food. For you to simply say, That's impossible, shows me you have developed the liberal defeatism mindset that the only solution to these problems is a government one. "We just can't do it, is defeatism at it's core. How do you know?? Have you ever seen it tried? Have you ever tried it yourself? Believe me Christine, with the right man or woman in the leadership position it could be done. Displaying your defeatist liberal mindset that government is the only answer, and that anyone who believes otherwise wants children to starve is socialistic Jennings thinking of the finest order.
