Are the liberals trying to starve the children?

 

It seems that every time a conservative wants to cut the waste and fraud and giveaway programs in government, the liberals have conniption fits about "starving the children" and "throwing Granny over the cliff." How much would you like to bet that liberals and not conservatives are responsible for this bit of starving the children:

 

The California Department of Education has ordered eight districts to repay nearly $170 million in free and reduced-price lunch programs. It seems they used the money for salaries and other expenses. I'm wondering how many children in those districts actually went hungry without that $170 million. My guess is zero. My guess is that mom and dad paid for the lunch, or they made them a sandwich, or they ate at home.
