Wow... What a bunch of hatred and selfishness. It is no wonder our country is in the shape it is. By the way, for those of you who say these women should use WIC or Food Stamps. They probably do. WIC, however, is only for women who are pregnant or have children under age 5 and it does not supply ALL the food you need it is a supplemental program and was cut 3 different times under Bush. Food stamps provide you with 3 dollars a day to purchase food and what if you want luxeries like food. To paraphrase the immortal words of Dickens, If they be like to die, they had better do so and decrease the surplus population. I wonder where your Marley is?

I was so saddened, and miffed, to see these children going hungry. I teach, in Phoenix, in a public school. Every child can receive a free breakfast and lunch each day. The form goes home at the beginning of each school year. Many schools in our area offer free breakfast and lunches all summer, too. I volunteer weekly at Andre House, a dining room where we serve 500-600 meals a night, 6 nights a week. We have a family dining room. It is hard to believe that in an urban setting, like Philadelphia (The city of Brotherly Love??) that similar programs and facilities are not available. I am curious to know.

"An estimated 15.5 million American kids don't have enough food - that's 3 million more than just two years ago. "

American Dream + Republicans = National Nightmare.

Shop for food and buy extra of whatever is on sale that you use, build up a pantry for those days without money. Plan ahead so you don't end up hungry and no way to feed your family. Learn everything you can about cooking from scratch with cheap food - beans an onion a can of tomato sauce and cheese with tortillas = a fine meal and can be a great breakfast, too. A skillet a pot for beans a couple of spoons and knives and you are set to provide for your family. Store up food and skills for the future! Learn to can and dry food, grow a garden even if it's just on a porch or balcony.

Folks, it might come to hard times for all of us - please please plan and learn and practice how to take care of yourself. Practice your survival skills right now, you might need them in hard times to come. Sometimes the government can't do anything for you and it is your responsibility to take care of your own as best you can.

soooo sorry, nextgen, the poorest and most crime ridden CITIES are as follows: detroit, buffalo, camden, new orleans, st. louis, miami, flint, cincinnati. So perhaps my post should have read:

I wonder why the blue CITIES seem to have so much more trouble with hunger, murder, unemployment, crime, homelessness, etc. Hmmm....

The Democrats infrastructure and construction bailout jobs program is more of the same old scam!

The tax payers that have obeyed the laws, paid the taxes and fought the wars and built this Nation are getting screwed by Corrupt/Stupid/Pandering Politicians and Greedy crooks at every level!

This is the same old scam, reward the Rich Bankers with billions in tax payers money and the invading horde of illegals Aliens with Jobs, Free medical, Free education, Welfare, Prison cells and make American Citizens pay for every Crook, Criminal, Peon, Welfare Leech and Marxist or Racist organization like ACORN or La Raza in the world!

The infrastructure and construction jobs without E-verify will put the millions of Illegal Aliens back to work, so they can send money home to support Mexico & South American at the expense of American workers and our economy! The contractors can charge the tax payers union scale, hire Illegals at slave wages, pocket the profits and American citizens pay both the wages and the billions in cost to educate the illegals many children, provide medical, welfare and prison cells.

You would think the Politicians would be content with just outsourcing all the jobs that can be done offshore but No they want to bring in Slave labor & Welfare votes ( while ignoring Article IV Section IV of our Constitution against invasion, the rule of Law, and their Oath of office) to take the jobs that cannot be outsourced!

To add insult to injury they make the American citizens still working pay billions in extra taxes for schooling, provide medical, welfare and jail cells for the invading horde that are taking our jobs and driving down our standard of living! While keeping busy Robbing, Raping and Killing American citizens at an rate that Bin Laden can only dream about!

The Democrats love the millions of Welfare votes to further their Socialist agenda & the Republicans love the slave labor for their Pay Masters in the Chamber of Commerce and business.

If we are realistic and look at the havoc caused by the millions of invading Hispanics on our communities, culture, crime, economy, welfare, taxes, environment, schooling and standard of living the only conclusion possible is that no Nation can withstand or assimilate an tidal wave of Uneducated Third world citizens that come here illegally from another culture, for the jobs and welfare, while keeping loyally to their home countries!

This Nation is changing to the very same type of culture and society the invading horde have created, built and sustained for 100,s of years and are now fleeing in their own Countries!

One has to only look at Calif. which is basically an Bankrupt state that cannot afford to provide Welfare, Schooling, Medical, Prison cells etc. for millions of MS-13 Gang bangers, Drug dealers, Rapist and other assorted Criminals and uneducated third world rejects from Mexico!

In a very few years it will be impossible to see where Mexico ends and California begins without reading the signs as both will be an third world cesspool!

Failure to secure our borders and reward the Invading horde for their invasion and their relatives in an never ending chain with American Citizenship is nothing less then committing National Suicide & will assure our future is an over populated Spanish speaking third world Nation that is an Cesspool of Corruption, Crime, Poverty and Misery just like Mexico!

Of all the comments this is the most useful one! Thank you Pastor Ellison for your generous offer of guidance to help.
With the food from the Angel food ministries, the families could eat well without hunger days at the end of the month. The only other things needed are classes and guidance for the adults to help them set priorities-no spending on acrylic nails and hair color, for instance. The famillies need lessons on how to cook with basics like eggs, milk, sugar and flour, potatoes and onions and cheese and without so much as a bag of potato chips or twinkies or a box of Hot Pockets. We've lost so many basic skills and the ability to live very simply and now it is starving our children in a land of plenty.

nextgenman09 - you are contributing nothing while tripping over your own ignorance again. I would have encouraged your abortion even though I don't like paying for those either. Can you do more than call other people names? Ever had an original thought?

You're the nut that wants children to starve. Can you do anything but blither? I don't take you seriously.
