Republican congressman suggests some children receiving free school lunches should work at McDonald’s instead

Rep. Rich McCormick defended the impacts of the White House’s federal aid freeze on school lunch programs by suggesting that some children should be working instead of receiving free lunch.

During an interview on CNN, McCormick praised the move as a way to broadly re-evaluate how the government allocates funding.
“You’re telling me that kids who stay at home instead of going to work at Burger King, McDonald’s, during the summer, should stay at home and get their free lunch instead of going to work? I think we need to have a top-down review.”
McCormick said that the pause on federal funds gives the government a chance to “see where is the money really being spent.”
