    Default ARMY Recommends Food Stamps

    https://www.wsj.com/articles/inflati...ps-11662405897

    "After dismissing congressional concerns for months, Pentagon leaders recently issued guidance to troops on how to cope with inflation eating their paychecks. Army leaders suggested soldiers and their families consider going on food stamps or talk to an Army-provided financial adviser."

    https://www.rferl.org/a/biden-emerge.../32016321.html

    "U.S. President Joe Biden is requesting $11.7 billion in emergency funds from Congress for Ukraine as the country battles against Russia?s full-scale invasion."

    Still think the proxy war is a good idea? Remind me what the US is gaining from financing this action at the expense of our own readiness.

    The number of people that are on a quasi fixed budget that are being affected by this is growing.

    I personally know several elderly that are struggling to buy groceries as prices rise.

    If you are able and in a church group, social group, or otherwise, please think to check in with the elderly and make sure they are getting by.

    Chicken is $13 a pound, store was completely sold out of eggs, canned beans over $3, half the produce and a lot of the meat looks like it shoulda been tossed in the trash, the price of paper towels and TP has more than doubled... wages are the same though.

    We expect things to get a lot worse.

    ...and once enough people are dependent on the government for food...
