Do you think the benefits created through public programs outweigh their expenses?

This definitely an oppinion question but I'd argue yes. In most Western nations there is a vast array of social programs to support the population, in France, three fresh, healthy, meals a day are provided at schools. This is an excellent idea, as it allows the children to a. stay healthy b. develop an idea for what is a healthy meal which will put less of a burden on the health care system as they get older. It allows parents to spend there money investing back into the economy instead of being burden with feeding there children, as it is estimated that it takes roughly €250000 euros to feed a child from birth to adulthood removing this expense from parents is an excellent idea, and is an example of a social program that works.
