Shouldn't the headline on your recent story about free school meals for Baltimore City schoolchildren read something like this: "Taxpayers provide free meals to all students" ("In Baltimore schools, free meals for all," June 2)?
When will taxpayers have a advocate to remind federal, state and local government officials that the things they say are free really aren't?
We need to keep reminding them that it is not their money and that there's no such thing as "free" money — except for the government, which doesn't earn anything itself but simply takes it from the taxpayers.
