Nothing more than that redundant addition needs to be said.
Calling Captain Obvious?
There is a problem, and some children do not get enough to eat in this country. Hunger is not the problem, it is a symptom of the problem.
In Long Beach, Ca. outside of many a grocery store you will find someone offering to sell their EBT allotment for half price. They want to purchase drugs or alcohol and they need cash for that. Drug addicts are never hungry. If kids are going hungry it is not because of lack of effort on our part.
There is also the related problem of the killing fields in Mexico and the mass migration of Mexicans flooding our borders. All of this is a huge threat to our stability. I believe it is time to get serious about the problem, the real problem, drug addiction.
I am talking about automatic death sentence to major drug dealers, cartel members, gang members involved in distribution. There is no nice way to stop this cancer that is destroying our country. We don't need therapy we need surgery.
>>>I believe that every hungry family should be given a stipend of beans, rice, tang and powdered milk instead of EBT cards.<<<
About 15 years ago, my wife, newborn son, and myself found ourselves on food stamps. We really didn’t need them, but we kept getting pestered about it, and finally we gave in.
We ate like freaking royalty. You’d be amazed at how much chuck steak, rice, veggies, fruit, and chicken you can buy with what they give you. We always bought in bulk, and wisely used what they gave us. The punch line: we still have some dried beans and rice from that period of our lives.
On the other hand, we’re a rarity. I’m with you. If you’re really hungry, here are some beans and rice. Chow down.
“Burgers, pizzas and the like cost more than food that you can buy at a store and cook yourself.”
I used to work with a girl who was VERY overweight. She had a couple small kids and dinner was fast food at least 4 times a week.
She was too stupid and too lazy to actually buy things and make dinner.
I think she is pretty typical.
I told her once how much groceries she could buy with what she spent on fast food. She wasn’t interested because she was too lazy to prepare things for her family ... never mind that they were not getting proper nutrition on fast food!!!
>>Just like poor Africans and Haitians.<<
Actually, I give to poor Africans and Haitians. They ARE poor.
I’m just tired of watching my relatives on the dole, not only eating better than we are, but also getting free gastric bypass surgeries to overcome eating better than we do.
I often see EBT cards at Kroger (where I pick up sale items)
I rarely see them at Aldi’s (where I do the majority of my shopping)
I wish I could eat like they do.
I’m gonna try me that ‘stagnant life of dependency...’
That would suit my personality and moral code just fine, don’t ‘cha think? LOL!
Another one hit out of the park by the man whose brain I love!
You’re not foolin me, Diana, it doesn’t fitcha at all. ;-)
And yep, another home run.
I’ve been stuck home for 4 weeks (2 to go!) with a broken foot and it’s nearly driven me ‘round the bend! I can’t NOT be productive, as much as my Government punishes me for it...
Grrrrr!
Dang! Sorry to hear that and I can understand the driving you ‘round the bend’ part.
About a year and a half ago our daughter broke the large leg bone just above her ankle and was laid up for several months, the first few weeks she couldn’t put any weight on it, even though she had a cast on it. They have three kids though two of them were old enough to fend for themselves and she about went bonkers.
Sorry to hear about THAT! My injury could’ve been worse, so I’m counting my blessings, believe me! But that first night I just laid there and though, ‘How the *@#)*$% am I going to do the zillion things around here that need doing each day?”
But, my family and friends rallied and I am SO grateful! These upcoming weeks are going to be the worst of it because I feel OK, but I know I’m not QUITE there yet...
Excellent. Thanks for the ping jaz.

See my tagline.
$1 meals: ABuckAPlate
I’ve discovered the perfect bread recipe; will soon have a post on it. $0.50 per 1.5 lb loaf.
What is that? That’s a parody, right?
Sowell once again captures the essence in one sentence. Liberal do-gooders will be our destruction.
The truth is often told in jest.
