Only in America are the poorest individuals so fat and laden with such luxuries as Ipods, cell phones, flat screen televisions, designer clothes, computers, cars, etc.

I know people who get droves of public assistance who own a new car and who own a home in a nice area and have a new computer.

Makes me sick how the left has created an entire generation of shameless people.

The lazy and shifltess will always be food insecure.

But for some reason many have hanicapped placards entitling them to the best parking. Their malady? They are fat, and thus have knee problems.

When the Civil War comes, this nonsense will end real fast. It will be like a breath of fresh air across the land.

And even if you discount the fact that fast-food is cheap to the point of being ridiculous, and that almost every town has a church that will feed a hungry person, and that our poor are often obese,, food is EASY to find here.
Ten dollars will buy a months supply of potatoes, another Ten will buy a month of pasta. Cheap vegetables are abundant. Flour, sugar, and rice by the big bag,,, and lord forbid they grow a garden and freeze their own vegetables.

Many people no longer cook. They buy 15 dollar pizza and soda for ONE MEAL. That could buy a month of flour and sugar. I had dinner with a Ukranian family once. I was there early enough to watch ‘em cook. A beet or two, an onion, a carrot, and about a large meatballs worth of meat was turned into an amazing soup for 6 people.

I know this is verboten,,but we they spent *half* as much time teaching girls to cook from scratch, as we did teaching em how to put a condom on a cubumber,,,,,,

And water, and electricity, and a car, and a TV, and everything.

Obama is pushing Communism.
