Number of Hungry Families in U.S. Rising
"WASHINGTON (AP) - About 12 million American families last year worried that they couldn't afford to buy food, and 32 percent of them actually experienced someone going hungry at one time or another, the Agriculture Department said Friday.
It was the third year in a row that the department has seen an increase in the number of households experiencing hunger and those worried about having enough money to pay for food.
Based on a Census Bureau survey of 50,000 households, the department estimated that 3.8 million families were hungry last year to the point where someone in the household skipped meals because they couldn't afford them. That's an 8.6 percent increase from 2001, when 3.5 million families were hungry, and a 13 percent increase from 2000. Also, more and more families are unsure if they can afford to eat or don't have enough food in their cupboards." Read here .
I am sure Cheney's family and Rumsfeld's family are not among them. Are they? All these are happening while billions of dollars of money is being spent to develop, make and use the deadliest bombs that do nothing but killing of people in other countries and making the very own American public suffer from starvation. I have been accused of disliking Bush and his gang. How could I not be? Just one filterless glance of these gangsters and their actions and the level of secrecy they have in order to hide things from their own people can be clear evidents of their criminality. I'd like to say it again: George Bush and his gang are criminals. Just look at them and listen to them, even the way they talk can give you a feeling that they are hiding things, that they are not honest and they are criminals. They have committed crimes against the International law, against Iraqi people, against the American soldiers by sending them to death zone and against the American public by deceiving them and by wasting the money that can feed hungry Americans families (never mind other starving people of the world).
