What F’ing hunger cliff?

Granted the death of the American economy, opportunity and the growth of a communist leaning America will starve everyone; but a cliff due to food stamps?

If there is a repeal of food stamps as there should be of Obamacare, I have not yet heard of it?

Redistribution of wealth through social programs and working in the gray markets doing jobs that don’t make you pay your taxes.

Just wait till folks discover their new healthcare premiums are higher than their rent or mortgage payments.

It’s not hunger. It’s FREE FOOD!

Why would anyone live in a city?

Biggest thing that stood out to me was the line..."but didn’t benefit from the economic recovery." What economic recovery?

The Employment Center stands empty at the top of the Hunger Cliff.

Work. Buy your own food. No one who works will starve in America.

So, how does a rational person reconcile news of this with reports of massive numbers of 'clients' on SNAP (47 million); lowest unemployment in 5 years (7.2%); the emergence of a salvation healthcare system; 'encouraging', 'trending upwards' news about unemployment, jobs creation, and manufacturing increases?

This is just another liberal push-piece for selected interests vying for more government money, undeserved sympathy, and a call for more 'government' help. They can bark it up another tree and send the illegals at their doors away.

"...but many of them share something in common..."

They all have cell phones and flat screen TVs?

The fact is they are not starving. If anyone wants to convince me of ‘hungry’ show me some emaciated bodies in the morgue. There aren’t any.

With the amount of “help” available in multiple levels of local, state, federal programs it is impossible for anyone to “starve” in America.....

To be obese....easy...

I received a newly published newspaper yesterday in my left-leaning town. The newspaper was full of FACTS about how the local Dems have destroyed our county. The front page stated that 47% of our county taxes go to welfare payments!!

Imagine the total graft when you add county, state, federal, Obamaphones (by way of our cellphone bills), free school meals (can't say lunch anymore), etc. I helped a friend at a local church with a charity furniture/household goods program. I had to quit when I saw the attitudes of most of the clients. Didn't show up for appointments, left furniture on sidewalks and threw items out because they deemed them not good enough.

Do they belong in America, or are they squatters who have broken our immigration laws? New York has one of the most comfy “safety nets”, due to Liberals running everything. “ If they build it, they will come”, turning the safety nets into hammocks.

I recently had some work done on my pickup - the garage I used happens to be located a block from the local food shelf in my town. As I drove past it, I couldn’t help being disgusted by the sight of a “kankle” lady loading bags of free stuff into her vehicle... while inhaling a heater. What have we come to as a society when folks choose to raid a hand-out location for free food while maintaining a $300+ per month discretionary (and harmful) spending habit?? How can someone accept free food that will feed themselves and their dependents while making such a selfish personal choice? It blows my mind.

"starving"

A few years ago my hometown rag did a front page story about supposed problems with the local food pantry. And they highlighted the story of one particular woman who according to the story was suffering from "food insecurity." You should have seen the photo of the woman. They probably had to butter her up good to squeeze her through the door to the pantry. She looked liked she hadn't missed any meals for quite some time.

they represent the millions of Americans who fell victim to food insecurity when the Great Recession hit in 2009, but didn’t benefit from the economic recovery.

That's because the "recovery" has been nothing more than an MSM construct.

How do "starving" people live in one of the world's most expensive cities?

If you read sociological "studies", it's because the cities are where the money is. In reality, they live in small, substandard apartments in horrid neighborhoods, and often, more people live in an apartment than allowed by safety codes. Also, since they live within walking distances of the places they need to go, they do not have to have the expense of a car.

Indeed - with most sporting thousands of dollars in tatoos.
With newer TVs and cell-phones than I have.
Feeding their kids hundreds of dollars' worth of (dubiously nutricious) fast-food.
Young, healthy men not holding down jobs, hanging out all day as we drive into work....
