I think it is a sad commentary that people working for the government would have to line up for free food only 2 days after missing a paycheck. Trying to imagine how these people must conduct their lives offers a little insight into why government fails at so much of what it does in its quest to manage our lives.

They are there for fresh produce. Hope they don't catch some horrible disease because the lettuce they eat was contaminated by 3rd-world illegals who don't know anything about hygiene.

That would be ...... ironic.

Give them government cheese.

Apparently we have tons of it stored around the country.

It’s free food.

I guarantee half of them or more live completely on $5.99 fast food specials. Maybe the shutdown will teach them a little about cooking.

This is one of the things I have been debating on our local paper’s site.

How bad do you manage your life if 48 hours after missing one check you need to wait in line for hours to get food? I have made $1,000 a month in this nation and been unemployed from that job and not come close to starving.

I truly don’t believe that this is anything more than the union telling people “This is your version of a picket line.” They’re not on strike but they can show for the cameras they’re “suffering”.

How can so many so useless, demonstrate such incompetence in such a short period of time?

The same people who buy a $5 Latte at Starbucks on the way to work every day. $100 a Month for a cup of swill.

All I see are democrat voters. Let them suffer, just like the commie pukes in Venezuela.

When I was 19, my friends and I were working in in the Oil Field, Homeless by choice living in a campground. Our Daily Allotment for FOOD for each of us was $1 Dollar, 1 can of Chunky Soup and 1 Package of Top Ramen.

We never ran out of beer though and allowed ourselves each a 12 pack a day.

Are they going to pay for these freebies after they get their checks?

Sorry but I don’t feel the least bit sorry for these losers.

This is nonsense... have they even missed a check yet... I don’t think so. Sorry, looks like a bunch of deadbeat scam artists to me.

Where is the NPR story when Americans were lined up at Food Bank during the “Great Recession” when the gov’t workers were living fat and happy on the tax payers’ dime?

President Obama in 2013:

"...one faction, of one party, in one House of Congress, in one branch of government, doesn't get to shut down the entire government, just to refight the results of an election."

This is totally fake propaganda. They missed their first check on Thursday and they are at the food bank Saturday? Don’t believe it for a moment and we should all be insulted that they think we will believe them.

Just because they’re lining up for free food doesn’t necessarily mean they all need it.

The border is open, there’s a partial government shutdown & the Democrats take a junket to Puerto Rico. Here’s Menendez terrorizing beach-goers on the beach by going shirtless. https://t.co/QKJpHKnGLU— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) January 13, 2019

The fed workers should seek guidance from everyone that took a pounding during 0bamby’s wonder years.
