Dear Folks,
We live in a strange country, the hope of nations in many respects and the feared among nations in many other aspects. Our 2008 Wall Street madness has done serious damage to a world economy. Money reigns as our valued power, both for the individual and for political gain. Recently one individual won a 600 million dollar lottery. This is the epitome of American ugliness. How many families have gone hungry as that lottery went on when weak parents bet their week's salary? In the same vein, how many children no longer have pre-school because of the sequester?
Even more seriously, the Farm bill is also up for continuation in both the House and Senate. In both committees, SNAP as part of this bill, known as the Food Stamps Program, will be reduced so badly, according to present reports that 23 million families, made up of 43 million individuals half of whom are children will lose food subsidies. This is utter tragedy and the great scandal if we as citizens do not speak up. Go to USA.gov to find your rep or senator.
