The answer is very easy: in the case of *food*, we come from
a free-market solution that already works extremely well, so
naturally it's "good" to weaken it with food stamps. Likewise,
we come from a socialist solution to education, which works
very poorly, of course, and so to weaken it by moving towards
freedom is "bad".
