New Yorkers Struggle to Find Food
RUSH: Every day you can find a story like this, sometimes more than one. This is from the Business Insider: "Nearly three million New Yorkers are reporting having difficulty affording food while a growing percentage of college-educated New Yorkers are also reporting higher levels of difficulty, according to a new report from the Food Bank For New York City.
"One in three expressed concerns that they might need" assistance finding food. This is despite all the food stamps out there! "The number of affected residents making between $50,000 and $75,000 -- and therefore not eligible for food assistance programs -- increased by 6 percent. To cope, they're cutting back on spending by purchasing fewer essential items like dairy, meat and fresh fruits and turning to soup kitchens and food stamps" which is all part of Obama's plan: Creating more and more dependency on government for the necessities of life. Now, when will this be called "The Obama Economy"?
When will this proposal be called Obamaville? I don't know how you blame anything going on in New York on any Republican, unless you want to go back and try to say that this is Giuliani's mess, but it can't be and it isn't. You've got a liberal nanny for mayor who now wants to put bars out of business by limiting the number of adult beverages you can have every day. Now you've got food banks reporting increased activity: 2.9 million New Yorkers! The population's what, seven million, and 2.9 New Yorkers report having difficult affording food? It's Obamaville. (interruption) Well, I don't know if there's any trans fat foods around. Even if you're starving and you find some trans fats, I'm sure they'll charge you. It's absurd.
That's not "sissification" of New Yorkers - making them unable to be willing to provide for themselves and instead looking to the government to help them out. That's "welfare-ization" of people.
