U.S. stands out as a rich country where a growing minority say they can’t afford food

The United States is an outlier from this pattern. Despite being the richest country in the survey, nearly a quarter of Americans (24%) say they had trouble putting food on the table in the past 12 months.

Examine any statistical chart published and you'll see that the US is far down from the top as far as actual standard of living is concerned.

I agree with the statement that folks are having trouble buying food. Despite the daily ration of mud and smoke we get from the national news propaganda agencies, people are still having rough times. I know many who are still losing their homes. But the lies of prosperity continue.

Wall Street millionaires are the only folk who are doing well and why shouldn't they? They are enjoying the bail outs paid for by the starving millions.

What will happen if the long predicted financial collapse comes? Will millions be made from short stock sales while Americans die in the street from hunger?

Who cares, anyway? All is well and the status quo goes on. ho hum

and that's just me, hollering from the choir loft...
