Breakfast: Congress Likes It

Nope, I'm not kidding you. During my brief absence, both the House and the senate passed breakfast resolutions! Here they are:

Senate Resolution 67: A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that providing breakfast in schools through the national school breakfast program has a positive impact on the lives and classroom performance of low-income children.

House Resolution 210: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that providing breakfast in schools through the National School Breakfast Program has a positive impact on classroom performance.

Yep, both the House and the Senate, in all their glory, felt the need to say how awesome the school breakfast program is. Did they pass legislation to allocate funds designated to expand or support the program? No. Did they create a commission to study its success and recommend similar programs in other areas? No. As usual, they patted themselves on the back and made a big show of how awesome they are.

Good job, guys.
