On the recordMarch 7, 1995
We are pedaling backward fast, crushing kids as we go. Cut the heat at home, cut the lunches at school. There is no escaping the cuts, kids. Have we forgotten the shameful revelations of hunger and poverty that produced the American majority for school lunches, WIC and low income energy assistance? What about that contract? Contracts are supposed to be win-win propositions. Tax cuts for the wealthy paid for with lunch money from kids is a rotten tradeoff. As $5 billion wallop at WIC and child nutrition programs is child abuse. If Washington cannot afford to feed hungry kids, cash-starved cities like the District will hardly be able to pick up the pieces--or the children. It is time we stopped eating our young and their lunches.
