WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF OUR HUNGRY, NOT OUR WEALTHY! TELL BARACK OBAMA, “USE AN EXECUTIVE ORDER TO START A WPA!”

Patrick Martin, WSW: “In a society which took seriously the value of human life and the future of its children, the spectacle of 50 million people at risk of hunger, including 1 million children, would be a social emergency. Given that the United States once boasted of its ability to feed the planet, the indifference to the growth of hunger at home is a national scandal.” A new report from the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture reveals 50 million Americans exist under the poverty line and were too poor to buy adequate food last year. That is approximately 17.4 million families. More than a third of these households, with over one million children, were forced to skip meals. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info...

From the Dept. of Agriculture or Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine:

At the same time we have billions to give to the wealthy and corporations.

We have billions more for the top 2%
But when it comes to the poor, unemployed and the middle class nothing. What the Fuck is wrong with this country.
