Fed money for food = $250k

Local Tax Money to spend on what ever = $250k

Total = $500k

 

or

 

No fed money = $0k

Local money = $250k

Total = $250k

 

Maybe my calculator is broken.

School districts lose the fed lunch subsidy (big bucks) by going solo.

 

Here are links to two stories that explain what's going on:

 

 

 

District drops federal lunch program

 

 

Fort Thomas Schools reject federal lunch program - Cincinnati News, FOX19-WXIX TV

I love all this revisionist history. Get real. The gist of the thread clearly was to make fun of this woman. If not, then why did someone post a picture of Jabba the Hutt?

 

In a nutshell, completely delusional with this assertion.

 

Those folks were clearly making fun of the fat, lazy, irresponsible pig, like I am now. Clearly this woman has NO SHAME!!!!!

One thing that seems to have been missed in all of this is the fact that this lady receives over $60,000/year from the government. Fat, skinny, tall, short, whatever...that is freaking insane.

 

That's some serious "jack". I could scratch out a very comfortable living and still eat healthy on 60K.

The original basis of this thread was nothing more than an ad hominem attack on overweight poor people on welfare.

 

Why is it whenever the TV news crews show footage during Thanksgiving & Christmas at the Free Store Food Banks, most everyone in line looks like they could skip a meal or 10?

 

Bottomline, it's all about personal responsibility. However, when you don't have to work to get hand out after handout personal responsibility goes out the window and it becomes a way of life, from generation to generation.

She's a disgusting loser. This quote from the article:

 

“I tried swimming but it cost £22 [$36] a month and it meant I had to cut back on my favourite pizza and Chinese takeaways,” she said.

While it is a very simple post, this is the best post in this entire thread!!! BRAVO

 

I whole heartedly agree. Then again, I am SLIGHTLY biased.

While it is a very simple post, this is the best post in this entire thread!!! BRAVO

 

Jeez...don't feed the monkeys! It just encourages them to throw their poop. :isurrender:

Closer to $35,800, not $60 grand. Also, why do I get the impression that this woman's story was bought and then "reassembled" by a British tabloid? I know, it's a crazy thought given the integrity of the British press.

I warned you the guy can argue whether it's daylight or dark at noon . Arguing just to run the post count up :idunno:.

I'm sure the Ft. Thomas senior citizens on fixed incomes who pay too much in property taxes appreciate the school board's quarter-million-dollar-a-year political statement so little Trey and Muffy don't have to drink 1 percent milk at lunch.

From the article. "Briggs receives more than $62,000 a year in total government largesse"

Start a thread hating on Ft Thomas already.

That's some serious "jack". I could scratch out a very comfortable living and still eat healthy on 60K.

 

If that's the case, I should quit my job...

20,000 pounds a year in benefits is what the Mirror and the other British tabloids are reporting. The pound-to-dollar multiplier today is 1.62.
