Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

NPR: Bad economy starves morbidly obese folks

If this had been on NPR’s subsidized TV sister PBS, the hilarity factor would have been off the charts!  Instead, their listeners (both of them) had endure this tear-jerker (hat tip Moonbattery):

A generation ago, the livelihood of Gloria Nunez’s family was built on cars.

Her father worked at General Motors for 45 years before retiring. Her mother taught driver’s education. Nunez and her six siblings grew up middle class.

Things have changed considerably for this Ohio family.

Nunez’s van broke down last fall. Now, her 19-year-old daughter has no reliable transportation out of their subsidized housing complex in Fostoria, 40 miles south of Toledo, to look for a job.

Nunez and most of her siblings and their spouses are unemployed and rely on government assistance and food stamps. Some have part-time jobs, but working is made more difficult with no car or public transportation.
…
The rising cost of food means their money gets them about a third fewer bags of groceries — $100 used to buy about 12 bags of groceries, but now it’s more like seven or eight. So they cut back on expensive items like meat, and they don’t buy extras like ice cream anymore. Instead, they eat a lot of starches like potatoes and noodles.

I hate to sound like a heartless jerk , but does it look like these two are going to die of malnutrition anytime soon?

Nope…no liberal media bias!

  3. Maybe they should sell off some of those food stamps to buy that poor girl a properly fitting bra. Blech.

    Why should food stamps afford anyone extras like ice cream in the first place?

  5. I know that the Declaration of Independence says… Life, Liberty and the enjoyment of Ice Cream whether I can afford it or not. This is just a crime! Modern day Boston Tea Party.

  9. Darn it Jonathan. I thought I told you once a long time ago to stop publishing photo’s of my ex-wives. They were thin when I married them, but then they got the mega-munchies after too many bong hits. ;-0
