During the depression in this country, there were indeed people who made that choice, eat myself to keep up my strength to work, or let my growing kids eat.
As chode said in his post, I’ll bet there are some elderly who have to make the choice between food and meds.
There was a time when my mom and dad, both gone now, had to do that. I bought my dad’s heart meds many times because they couldn’t afford them. Before Medicare part D.
Not so sure that’s the case now. The ones who may be hurting are the ones not quite old enough for Social Security. The working poor.
all so we can give welfare to illegals and drunken dopeheads
