Being forced to scrimp on food
Hat tip to
Maggie's Farm for the link to this story of institutionalized poverty in Ohio.
From
Gateway Pundit:
Poor Ohio Family Forced to Scrimp On Food
Angelica Hernandez (left) and her mother, Gloria Nunez, struggle to make ends meet on a very limited budget. (NPR)
NPR aired a sad piece on the Nunez family in Ohio who can no longer afford meat.
It's a good thing they're a radio channel.
Gloria Nunez has never worked. She says that since her car broke down (imagine that?) her daughter can't look for a job either.
And, they're scrimping on food:
The rising cost of food means their money gets them about a third fewer bags of groceries � $100 used to buy about 12 bags of groceries, but now it's more like seven or eight.
They could probably do just fine with a few bags less of groceries, but that's just me.
A little walking probably wouldn't hurt either.
And we wonder what is wrong with America these days.
Get fit, get an education (high-school GED at least), turn off the TV and get interested in something (reading, a hobby or craft). Stretch your brain and you will find lots of people wanting to hire you.
Live an institutionalized indulgent life and you get what you pay for -- nothing.
