Following up on the 2+2=4 post, consider the following:

• First Lady Michelle Obama wants to fight childhood obesity.  A high percentage of poor and low income kids are overweight due to poor eating habits.  Mrs. Obama points to school lunch programs as a source for poor nutritional foods.  Free and reduced priced public school breakfast and lunch programs have served millions of kids for decades.  
• Extending unemployment benefits to ninety-nine weeks will not reduce the number of unemployed.
• Progressives want to shut down any BP drilling operations until the leak in the Gulf is stopped and investigated.  The Obama administration wants BP on the hook for untold liabilities.  Driving BP out of business will greatly reduce its ability to cover any and all claims.
• 1700 people work in the Minerals Management Service (MMS) that oversee oil drilling in the Gulf.  Democrats and the Obama administration want more regulation.  If 1700 can't do the job, what number of employees will?
