One "free" meal a day for every 65+ year old american? Cost. . .

2$ a school meal is assumed cost so 63 million 65 year and older americans. Thats 126 million$ a meal daily either breakfast or lunch only on weekdays?. A total expenditure of $126 milion times 5 is $630 million weekly to feed all retirees (in America). Therefore $630,000,000 multiplied by 52 is $32.76 billion a year to feed all retirees 1 meal (of their choice) daily. Compared to the U.S. military budget of roughly 884 billion (FY 2023) that would be 34B\884B is 3.8% of the military budget to end hunger; among retirees.

Who is proposing this? It is a strange to target this universal benefit at the wealthiest section of the population. It would be far more obvious (and cost efficient) to provide free meals to all school children.

@SunshineGirl yes a previous post i made asked if school aged citizens should receive free breakfast and\or lunch. It received few responses so i rephrased and asked it differently.

This would incentivize retiring too. Only free meals for the retired not if still working.
You ain't going to plan nothing that supports the population. You don't want socialism in the hate -SA! Hate. No options, bipartisan hate for the population.
