Free meals controversial in Korea

 

 It is now emerging as an important topic in South Korea is a free meal. Previously, children were placed in economically difficult home circumstances, such as basic living of pensioners only selective welfare system serving free meals.But free meals is suggesting converted to universal welfare system that provides services to all students.
  Of course, the conservatives no choice but to oppose them. Because the pendulum to have to pay more taxes for universal welfare. And when free meals are enforced to emphasize the more general welfare, housing, etc. it is because you want to emphasize the universal well-being in a variety of areas. Current government to extend the reduction to our policy, compared the welfare budget in front of the government also shows the opposition to all ruling parties to spread the conservative policy.

 Therefore, in the conservative camp, to advance camp to claim a free lunch, it is criticized that it is populist idea to win the election.
  In contrast, progressives, we favor the free meals.
Now the problem with a different education budget funded from a lack of financial resources but, If ultimately securing funding through the tax argue that the human right to enjoy a meal without looking noticed that all the children equally.

 

I Think.

 

 The problem is that eventually claims all people to switch from the cradle to the general welfare of enjoying a decent living life to the grave all is well, "Welfare disease" wasted the whole country by the finances of the country due to the opposition of the claim will be destroyed.

 The weak social welfare system in Korea,

I think I do not if you look at simply confrontation of political philosophy of maintaining the population and progress camp the problem of free meals. Free meals discussions, free meals should be itself and not simply discuss all the people involved about the direction of our country's welfare policy.
  But I think, the welfare system is worried about the "welfare disease" in South Korea there is no need to worry about "welfare disease" too insufficient, is the point is the same like maggots fear, will not dip chapter.
