More Americans Struggle to Afford Food[b/]

Americans' overall access to basic needs is close to record-low
by Alyssa Brown

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- More Americans are struggling to afford food -- nearly as many as did during the recent recession. The 20.0% who reported in August that they have, at times, lacked enough money to buy the food that they or their families needed during the past year, is up from 17.7% in June, and is the highest percentage recorded since October 2011. The percentage who struggle to afford food now is close to the peak of 20.4% measured in November 2008, as the global economic crisis unfolded.

My wife has a wonderful fitness and nutrition curriculum. If every American gives up on eating for one, two, or three days at a time per week then they can save a lot of money on food and pay more taxes.

It really sucks. There are many families that are eating hot dogs and ramen noodles most of the time.

You guys just can't let it go, can you? Do you ever have an original thought of your own?@!?@?

Jeez, give it up already! THE REPUBLICANS HAVE NOT CONTROLLED BOTH HOUSE AND SENATE in many, many years!

The last time republicans controlled both house of Congress was in 2004, I think. AFTER THAT is when everything started to go to shit. Once Dems controlled the whole Congress, they started giving so much shit away, raising taxes, etc. that the "average American" (I think that's me) could not afford food any more.

Just LISTEN (for the first time in your life - really listen for yourself instead of letting others tell you what you are hearing), and you will hear Senate "leaders" such as Harry Reid - WHO HAS REFUSED TO PASS A BUDGET FOR 5 YEARS IN THE SENATE. He constantly refuses to bring bills he disagrees with to the Senate floor for debate.

Talk about obstructionist.

They always seem to have a fag sticking out of their mouth and a large soda within reach.

I was just at a county fair last weekend and there seemed to be an abundance of fat asses, and scooters seemed to be the norm for the obese. If I saw a bunch of 90lb Starvin Marvins I might believe people can't afford food, but my observations say otherwise.

Re: More Americans Struggle to Afford Food
My employer decided to make sure they were compliant with obamacare ahead of time, so they FORCED me to get insurance for myself and my wife and 2 children, which cost me $370 a month. We had been putting a little money in savings with each paycheck, but now cannot afford that and had to drastically change our food buying habits as well. Thanks obama! We are doing GREAT!
It is, to me, sad how fast people forget the FOUNDATIONS of our fine country! This country was built by an armed population capable of fending for themselves, and will be lost by couches full of potato-sheeple riding their 52" HD-LEDTV's into the orwellian sunset. :(

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 43813351


You must have missed the Republican obstruction show.

The student loan rate increase.

The attempt to cut Foodstamps.

The cutting of the stimulus during a recession.

The debt ceiling debacle I&II with III upcoming.

The Sequester.

The causes of the sequester meaning Republicans refusals to negotiate on the gang of six.

Republican refusal to raise taxes on the rich to avoid cuts.

The republican refusal to negotiate on a Jobs bill with Obama using the lie that its not the Governments job to create jobs even in a deep recession. There would have been no "New Deal" if that were the case.

All I want is for a prominent Republican politician to be on one of Americas decrepit bridges when it collapse or die in a fiery crash after hitting a huge pot hole on Americas shitty assed streets.

I'm not going to go into the Bush Tax cuts or the Two wars.That cost Trillions.

Americans will rebel against the Republicans very very soon in like 3-2-1....

You do not need to make excuses for anyone, just stop paying the stupid fuckers and they go away on their own.

turn off your Cable and intranet.
sell your cars and buy something you can afford
plant a garden or start fishing and hunting.
downsize your house and sell or turn off all the toys.

The second the american public does this, the game is up and the show is over for the 1%rs out there and the fancy watch makers..

but even the poor have 200 dollar cable bills they can afford...
