Overheard in Congress:


Jack Kingston

“No more of this ‘free lunch’ bullshit. We need to teach AMERICAN children that there is NO FREE LUNCH. You take them poor kids and you make them pay something—a nickel, a dime, a quarter, a buck—something for that lunch so they don’t grow up to depend on Uncle Sam. If they don’t have any money, make the little bastards sweep the floors, wash the silverware, scrub the toilets—something! Make them do the honest day’s work their parents probably have never done, goddamit! No more of this bullshit! And don’t give me any of this nonsense that the kids from rich families are getting a free lunch from their wealthy parents! Parents are supposed to feed their damn children and it's too bad that the poor ones can't! And I don’t wanna even here about the fact that what I’m proposing would be an administrative nightmare that would require hiring more people to manager. Fuck that! ”

Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Georgia)
