11. Exactly, they do want kids to get a job.

Dangerous equipment, long hours, dirty work environment, etc.

Then in between they can try to go to school, where they might be killed there too.

9. Not strong on a sense of irony and self-awareness, are they?

On Thursday, the state Senate voted 26 to 21 to pass a bill, SB 2124, aimed solely at expanding the meal allotment for state employees, including members of the legislature. If signed into law, lawmakers’ daily meal reimbursement would increase from $35 to $45 to cover three meals a day — an increase of about 29 percent. This would cost the state almost $1 million over the two year budget cycle.

The vote took place just 10 days after the chamber narrowly voted against expanding school lunches to cover children from families of four with an income at or below $60,000 — an income cap put in by Republicans after Democrats had originally proposed universal free school meals. [snip]

During the debate on the school meal bill, Republican state Sen. Mike Wobbema claimed that providing free school meals would create too much of an entitlement culture...

Oh, really?
