There is no evidence whatsoever that anything like that is going on. But after all, every tax payer's nickel that buys a kid a pint of milk, well, that's one less nickel for oil company subsidies!
its not the poor kids gaming the system, its the kids whos parents drop them off in escalades sporting 24" wheels that are gaming the system.
wake up, you're living in lala land.
the oil co's are going to get their subsidies regardless of how much milk poor kids drink.

Your obvious bias is showing. Juvenile name calling gains you no respect.
You should do SOME research before making such blanket false statements:
"Federal Investment in Anti-Waste, Fraud, and Abuse Solutions, 2010-2015 (Mar 2010)
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) estimates that the federal government made over $98 billion in improper payments in FY2009.
INPUT estimates that the federal government will spend $1.8 billion in FY2010 on information technology solutions to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse (WFA) in federal programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credit, and School Lunch Programs."
have the 'bots been programmed to begin shrieking instantly at the mere sight of a cowboy hat?
Apparently so. I guess they don't know that many folks in Montana and Wyoming actually do wear cowboy hats and that Reagan was quite a horseman. Cowboyhats represent a symbol of rugged individualism, something liberals hate....unless it benefits them politically.

Maybe so, Ugga...
I am an Idahoan, and a Democrat, and I wear one. So does Butch Otter, our Republican Governor, and Ken Salizar for Colorado, the U.S. Secretary of Interior. Cecil Andrus, a former Interior Secretary and an Idahoan, wore one in D.C. and here, when he was the Governor.
Out here, politicians, field workers, bankers, ranch hands, rich and poor all wear them.
Western apparel, worn in the West, means nothing politically or socially. As headgear, the cowboy hat is one of the most practical styles ever invented. My neighbor is an engineer and wears one for gardening. Mountain climbers out here wear them. The well to do wear expensive ones, and the poor wear less expensive ones.
They simply keep the rain off your face when it's raining, and the sun out of your eyes when it's sunny. They do their job just as well in the South as in the North, and in the West as well as in the East. More folks ought to give them a try.
And they make any man or woman look real good, too.
