Yes Virginia there really is a Santa Claus, but his name has been changed to “government handouts”. Children that qualify for a free lunch already were insured a free college education even though their grade point average was just above flunking. It had to be a 2.0 and that would not give any kid much incentive to study hard because you could get that grade without opening your book and going with a multiple choice answer. You would have a 50/50 change of guessing right. That sure would not make you college material. That is not what this article is about.
They get new perks now. They would qualify for Internet Essentials. They would only pay $9.95 for Internet service, and could buy a new computer for $149.99. WOW. That is really a deal and all your have to do to qualify is (I would have to guess here) be on welfare. The state or federal government does not have a money tree. They take it away from the private sector workers, skim off a huge amount for administering these programs to give away all this STUFF. You and I will see our Comcast bills go up. Sometime this mess must stop but the country is broke and still giving things to families who may be drug users, drunks, or whatever and encouraging them to stay dependant on government hand outs. It’s a real vote getter. I am not against a kid getting a free lunch. Don’t want to see anyone hungry, but there has to be an incentive to try to better yourself, not just demand more “services” from the government.
