It’s back-to-school season, and Chris has a message that’s going to tick some people off: pack your kids’ lunch.
In this fiery Watchdog on Wall Street episode, we call out the lazy parenting and government nonsense behind “free lunch for all.”
Inside:

• Why sending your kid to eat government food is setting them up for failure
• Kathy Hochul’s “free breakfast & lunch for all” plan—and why it’s a taxpayer scam
• Why subsidized school meals are junk food disguised as charity
• The real cost of “universal free lunch” (hint: your wallet)
• Why parenting means effort—and why packing a lunch matters

Tough love time: stop outsourcing your kids’ health to bureaucrats.

free lunch, no questions asked. That's how we set our

way to feed those kids on the down low. So

you can get rid of you can just find out
who those kids are and you can order something from
the freaking deli. Okay, that's gonna be better. It's gonna
be a lot more cost effective than the actual dog
