‘Quiet Crisis’: Food Banks Are Inundated With Requests For Aid As Inflation Bites
dailycaller ^ | 09/25/2023 | WILL KESSLER

Food banks across the U.S. are reporting a massive uptick in demand as Americans continue to struggle with inflation.

Several food banks told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the volume of requests for food has risen to levels even higher than during the COVID-19 pandemic, as more people struggle to afford their daily expenses. Many food banks credited the increase in demand for food to inflation, which has cut into real wages and made purchasing everyday goods, including groceries, much more expensive.

Gosh, I wonder if the hungry will understand that their voting patterns increased their pain?

Naw, probably not.

This can’t be true! According to the RATS in the Yellowstream “media”, Bidenskyyyy’s ‘conomy is booming louder than his flatulence.

This was inevitable the moment the fedgov wrote the first Covid giveaway checks.

It’s a small price to pay for no more mean tweets coming from the White House.

I have worked food distribution volunteer once a month at an area food-bank groceries-distribution food-fair for years. Before Covid, we usually served about 300 families with a shopping basket of food -rice, beans, veggies, and usually a protein item. Now, it is in excess of 650 families. Less than half speak English. We always run out of food now.

Well, Joe Biden has no power to pass spending bills. The Republicans have been in control of Congress for the last decade, not Joe Biden. “Bidenomics” is clever marketing in an election year, but it was in actuality Republican enablers who caused the inflation.

I used to have my company support a local food bank in the area where my office was located.

I put an end to it when I saw the kind of vehicles the clientele were driving when they picked up the donated food.

Elections have consequences. Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.

We gave McCarthy the gavel and we now have a 2T deficit to show for it in a single year. Kevin promised to have clean bills for spending but we are headed for another omnibus monster no different than those put forth by Pelosi.

Gaetz is right about this, but he will probably fold too. I think most people in DC understand that kicking the can on fiscal matters is the only option because nobody wants it to crash on their watch.

Food banks on the local level. No one size fits all. Why can’t obesity be said in the same sentence? EBT cards programmed for rice and beans only. That would fix both problems. Said it for the umpteenth time.

When COVID was at its height, a local kosher grocery gave away boxes of food to help out the large local Orthodox families. Believe me, there were tons of obvious Hispanic illegals lining up to get that food, too. And they were not turned away.

Will the brain-dead American public realize that:

biden is giving about 10 billion a month to Ukraine
biden is paying the salaries of Ukrainian citizens
biden wants to turn your gas-powered car into a junk heap
biden wants to turn your gas stove into a pile of scrap metal
biden is turning your savings into scrap paper through inflation
biden doesn’t give a rat’s whisker about you

Trump will stop the money flow to Ukraine and the other nonsense. Trump cares about the USA.

I personally know of one entire graduate department at an Ivy League university where ALL the students are getting food stamps - and I'm willing to bet its not the only department. One of them learned that its as easy as sending in a form, with no verification or checking whatsoever. So they ALL did it.

These are kids whose parents own houses in the Hamptons, are bankers/expats in London, own profitable businesses, etc. etc... If Fed.gov is giving away $300 per month, why not?

95% of the entire program is a SCAM.

The real crises is Famine. It is the third horse of the Apocalypse. Food shortages will become a big issue shortly.
