America's economic pain brings hunger pangs

~





During the Great Depression preceding the passage of the Social Security Act, "soup kitchens" provided the only meals some unemployed Americans had. This particular soup kitchen was sponsored by the Chicago gangster Al Capone.



The nation's economic crisis has catapulted the number of Americans who lack enough food to the highest level since the government has been keeping track, according to a new federal report, which shows that nearly 50 million people -- including almost one child in four -- struggled last year to get enough to eat.

WRH Commentary:



FIFTY MILLION AMERICANS ARE GOING HUNGRY!

FIFTY MILLION!


And yet the US Government can spend trillions of your dollars on war and Wall Street and car companies and Israel.

When do you get angry, America?

How many children have to starve? How many children have to be tortured?

How many of you must lose their homes and wander the icy streets this winter before you accept that this government has failed and is simply looting the populace to benefit themselves and their cronies?

When do you get angry, America?
