Missouri’s GOP Senate Candidate Says Federal Govt Should Stop Funding School Lunches

[Tx4obama]

Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) — who is running for Sen. Claire McCaskill’s (D-MO) Senate seat — told reporters on Thursday that the federal government should “end its support for school lunch programs,” suggesting that states should fund the effort:

“There’s another good question of who should be doing that,” Akin said during the discussion with reporters. “Is that something the federal government should be doing? I answer it no — why not do it at the state level?” (...)

“I am not against school lunches, but I have a question of whether or not the federal government should be doing many things it is doing, and that would be one I would take a look at.”

2. OK. How much would that cost each taxpayer in the state of MO?

That, and the fact that the Republicans would farm it out to McDonalds or Marriott (private corporations are always more efficient and less expensive, don'cha know?) and they kids would look like beach balls by the end of the school year.
