U.s. school age population? Free school meals 0-18. The cost?
There are about 73 million Americans age 0 to 18. Free lunch for those in pre k to senior year of highschool would be about 73 million meals per day. A school lunch was $1.50 when i was in highschool (2003 to 2007) what is it now (2024)?
Let's say $2.00.
So 73,000,000*$2 is $146 million a day to feed every school age child in America lunch.
Simultaneously saving every tax paying parent about $3 a day and the time making a lunch instead of packing their child's lunch daily.
So thats $73 million more to be spent in the economy (probably still on food (better food) for their kids dinner & breakfast).
So whats the probablem?
Child nutrition or war spending.
Therefore $146 million X 180 school days per year is $26.28 billion per year. About $27 billion would feed every child lunch for a year.
U.s. federal MILITARY SPENDING? (Department of Defense) in 2024? $883.7 billion authorized in 2023.
Therefore 27\884 is 3%
3% of the u.s's spending on "defense" would feed every child lunch yearly.
3 F ing percent.
