House Republicans to poor kids: Drop dead!

I guess it is not bad enough that they are blocking unemployment benefits to two million Americans. Now, they want to cut off school lunches to poor kids.

I really try to see the other side of these arguments. I bend over backwards to do so. The thing is that we used to be able to agree on some things. Not a lot. But some. Things like the unemployed should be given some consideration, especially when there are no jobs. Another is that kids should be able to have a healthy lunch. I think we can all agree on that. I guess not.

It's a sad day in America when we can agree that poor kids should be able to get a healthy lunch in public schools. Very sad indeed.

Now about that START treaty...
