I’m sorry, mnehring, but the article you posted is unbelievably idiotic. Not only is it atrociously written, but it includes ridiculous factoids such as “1.5 million homeless children” and “1 out of 6 Americans not having enough to eat”.

I agree, it is poorly written (but it is the Examiner so what do you expect), however, those stats are from libs themselves.
