No, no, Sawz... I am fully aware of what the USDA propaganda says... I mean, I can read... What doesn't add up is their numbers... Something seriously wrong with their methodology... Ain't rocket surgery here, son...

Lets do a little review here 'cause maybe you are missing the point...

Number of people living in poverty = 40,000,000 (maybe 50,000,000 depending on one's position on the governements' $20,500 a year for a family of four)

Number of kids hungry according to USDA = 500,000

If the family make-up of those kids living in poverty is 66% then what the USDA wants US to believe out of the 26,000,000 to 33,000,000 only 500,000 go hungry which amounts to about 2 kids out of a 100 who are living in poverty going hungry....

Now I doubt that you kmow much about poverty, son, but I do... I worked as a social worker for the City of Richmond for well over 10 years working with the poor... If Janie would stop in here she would validate what I'm trying to tell you and that is simply that there is something very wrong with the USDA's accounting here...

That's what I refer to as intellectual curiousity.... Seems you have plenty of it if it comes to putting the blast on Obama but seem blinded when it suits yer arguments... I call that selective blindness and when it come to selective blindness yer a white-caner...
