Hunger Cliff..

 


Families across America are precariously perched on the edge of a hunger cliff. With inflation on the rise and supply chain backlogs, more families have been turning to food banks, forcing programs nationwide to ration supplies and cut services. 

And now the war in Ukraine is leading to more food shortages and driving up prices even further.  

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has estimated that as many as 30 million adults and 12 million children are living in food-insecure households.

 And the U.S. Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey found that in the last seven days, 10.3% of respondents sometimes or often did not have enough to eat. Local food aid organizations are essential community resources for families during this crisis, but they cannot do it all by themselves.

With that in mind, the secretary of defense said "The Biden administration’s aim in the Ukraine war is to see Russia’s military capabilities degraded and Ukraine’s strengthened, to prevent Moscow from attempting to conquer territory by force in the future.

Ignoring the hungry children worldwide, and fuel the destruction of the Ukraine, a small price for this Biden administration just to inflame hate towards the Russian people.  Just athought.
