So the fascists will give Argentina $40 billion and

give trillions in tax cuts for the wealthy but they won't keep food aid going for people here at home. In the Land of The Free. The wealthy will give billions in donations for shady influence groups and a garish "ballroom" but they won't keep food aid going for people in the Land of The Free. Then they wonder why people call them scum.

So the food pantries are reporting hard times. Please contact one of the local ones in your area and volunteer if you can, ask what they need donated and drop off what you can. Even if your own situation precludes being able to give or volunteer then please take the time to write them a letter thanking them for what they do for the community. Everybody can give words of thanks and encouragement.

I heard an interview on the radio today with a person involved with food pantries and she said that children are now putting food in their pockets from school lunches to take home so their mothers can eat. Read that again slowly and think about it and the tax cuts and the ballroom. In the Land of The Free.
