"Americans are just starving--starving I tell ya."
So they cancelled the HUGE ever-growing Food Stamp, farm commodity (”Government Cheese”), WIC and other supplemental food programs while I was sleeping last night? You’d think there’d be a thread or two about it!! Buehler? Buehler?
It is sad what Obama and the Rats have done to this nation.
Interesting comments at the link.

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Obviously we need more socialism. /s
"Americans are just starving--starving I tell ya."
Where are the parents of those three grandchildren and why don’t they help out?
“I’m suprised that the MSM would publish a story like this so close to the election and a POS Democrat as president.”
It may be to give the impression that Repubs will make things worse; they have to stop Americans from reflexively responding to the “are you better off...” question by sending The Sultan packing.
poor things...
Want to help feed the hungry, find a food pantry in your community and donate food only directly to them.
Stories like that are exactly the reason for my tagline.
If you can earn $3/day, my A Buck A Plate blog will fill your belly 3 times a day. That’s just 25 minutes a day at minimum wage to eliminate hunger.
Something I found out recently which is the most disturbing of all about government hand outs.
When things get tough and people have trouble feeding themselves, the group that suffers most are the children.
Why?
Because there are parents out there who when benefits get reduced will take care of themselves first and let their kids go hungry!!
Nine years ago when my best best friend finally got married (we were in our 40’s at the time). Since I was her attendant, we decided to go out to a bar for a few drinks, a girls’ night out, shortly before her wedding. It had been about 20 years since we’d done anything like this and after the first drink we realized why we don’t do things like that anymore(;-)).
I met a woman in the Ladies Room who started talking to me about her 20 year old daughter. She’s saying how much her daughter hates her. I said something like that too bad (and realized alcohol makes you real stupid to confess such things to a total stranger). The woman replies that she doesn’t blame her daughter because when this woman was a young, single mom, she’s buy herself shoes so she could go out to the bars instead of buying food for her daughter. And this bar was a nice bar, in a nice restaurant, in a nice shoreline town, not a dive in the ghetto.
Anyway, FWIW, there are really scummy people out there who shouldn’t have kids, but what should we do about the kids who suffer if we cut off mommy’s benefits.
Come closing time every day, Panera Bread gives away all remaining stock (bread, bagels, pastries) to whatever charity will come get it. I take about 4 large boxes to a local church’s food pantry every week (and they still don’t have enough charities to take all daily leftovers). Don’t need a government program and confiscatory taxes, just need people willing to get it to the needy.
