The New Poor In America

Last night as I was leaving Wal-Mart a man with two children came up to me and ask if we had any money to spare.
Said he was laid off last year and couldn't find work. Food stamps didn't cover enough for food and he couldn't find a job. He asked me if I knew of anywhere he could find work, he was desperate.
I had 50 dollars to spend on groceries for five people in my family that had to last until Friday and we were hitting the dollar store,
I couldn't help him and I work.
These are kids that go to my schools.
They are kids who wear raggedy clothing and have nowhere to sleep at night.
What is happening to our country?
I got home and found out they had recalled the formula my grandson drinks because the Similac had bug parts in them.
Formula is 24.00 a can!
So 13.00 of my fifty went to buy a can of formula until we get paid on Friday.
Oh, sure, they will give you a voucher for their products without bugs but who wants to buy formula from a company that cares so little about infants they allow bugs to get in their formula?

Eggs? Formula? Lettuce?
These are things which happen in third world countries, not the United States.
Used to.
