Why kids who aren’t poor are now getting free school lunches

The Washington Post reports on why the Welfare State is now giving free lunches to children who aren't poor:
Why is the federal government doing this? As noted above, it will reduce paperwork for families and schools, but it will also help reduce the stigma that some children feel about eating in a government-funded program at school. You can read more about the program here. The ultimate cost of the program is unclear because nobody yet knows how many students will participate.
So poor people are paying for people who's children are richer than them!
