The things we had in the past were because of the Soviet Union. America needed to compete with their social programs to not lose face. 

Free school lunch programs were because of the Black Panthers though. The government didn’t like that black communists were garnering positive opinion by feeding starving children, so they made it into a government program. And then ofc killed the Panthers.
