Americans Are Waiting In Breadlines To Feed Their Families At Food Banks Across The Country To Survive Biden’s Inflation Nightmare



The price of food has soared to a 40-year high.

The food price index increased by 10.8 percent in 2022, the largest 12-month percentage increase since 1980, according to the Consumer Price Index report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics..

Cereal is 15 percent more expensive than it was a year ago. The price of chicken has risen by 17.4 percent, the largest increase ever recorded.  The price of eggs has increased by 33 percent. Pork prices increased 13.3 percent; bacon, 15 percent; milk, 15.9 percent; coffee, 15.3 percent; and fruits and vegetables, 8.2 percent. Food away from home, at restaurants, increased by 7.4 percent.

Food banks are suddenly overwhelmed with providing relief for impoverished families as a growing number of Americans wait in long lines outside of the food relief organizations seeking respite from the exploding costs of groceries and supplies.

In Boise, Idaho, the number of meals served to families in need has doubled over the past year.

Meridian Foodbank  Executive Directory Dan Clark said they went from “serving about 2,800 people each month to 4,200 in one year,” KTVB7 reports.

Another foodbank 15 -miles away, Care House Food Bank, has reported a similar increase.

During the COVID-19 lockdowns,  people were less reliant on food banks while receiving food through government programs like “Farmers to Families,” but those programs are over, Care House Food Banks spokesperson Tony Johnson told the publication.

“We’re finding out with that with the rising rent costs and the rising gasoline costs, the rent eats first, the gasoline eats second,” Johnson said. “So, the family has very little to buy food to eat.”

Food banks in Allentown, Pennsylvania are seeing a reported 20 percent increase in the number of people in need of free food.

“Since October, we’ve tripled the number of families we’re serving every month,” Executive Director of Allentown Area Ecumenical Food Bank, Anne Egan, told WFMZ.

Approximately 300 of the 1,800 families she served this month are first-timers, she added.

In Phoenix, Arizona, on a daily basis hundreds of families have resorted to waiting in long lines outside of St Mary’s Food Bank to receive food.

“The Phoenix food bank’s main distribution center doled out food packages to 4,271 families during the third week in June, a 78% increase over the 2,396 families served during the same week last year,” the Associated Press reports, citing St. Mary’s spokesman Jerry Brown. “More than 900 families line up at the distribution center every weekday for an emergency government food box stuffed with goods such as canned beans, peanut butter and rice, said Brown.”

The plan to bring America to its knees is well underway!

Every word in the article is true, if you don't like the source that is your choice. Americans are suffering because of the puppet masters pulling the strings of your choice for President! It started with the end of our energy independence and has worsened since. It is a cascading tragedy caused on purpose starting with the first signed executive order on January 20, 2021!

I think you misread it: " food packages to 4,271 families during the third week in June, a 78% increase over the 2,396 families served during the same week last year,” .

But what always amazes me is, even since before the GFC,  around half of Americans are/have been living paycheck to pay check or worse, in the "richest" economy on the planet.

Of course the other half are partying as usual, regardless of "inflation"....

I'm curious also: will you support an increase in taxes in Oz, to eliminate once and for all the disgraceful situation of elderly people laying in their own faeces for hours on end?   

I already know Mort's views on government spending.

I can't speak for all people living "paycheck to paycheck" but I can speak for the few I know. They make choices and have their whole lives. Others with the same opportunities have done well in life due to better choices. That word "choices" is a big part of the problem. Our school system wastes a lot of hours warehousing children rather then teaching some important life skills. Real tests and exercises on how everyday financial decisions are made should be part of their preparation for adulthood. Every American should own their homes and have them paid for before they retire, they should be able to save something for their old age rather then spending every dollar as soon as they get their hands on it.

When someone says 'ultra right', 'supporter of Trump and his criminal mates',  I know  he's hot and bothered. And it explained the breathless Wiki denunciation that goes before it.
Speaking of Wiki, here's an article on CNN.

How evil are you? You don't have to pay more taxes to keep old people laying in their own faeces in nursing homes, you can indeed pay even less tax, so that you can reduce the already inadequate staff numbers in nursing homes.

Nope.  Not even close.

You've been sucked in by TGP again.

When will you learn?
