Now Students Starving In America

Last week we were told that the middle class couldn't afford meat. Now students are starving. Have we no shame?

'Starving students' turn to food banks
"Before, when I lived in the dorms, I was on the meal plan," the 20-year-old said. "Now that I'm in the apartment, I have to pay for food, and I have to pay my cell phone bill. I don't make enough to pay for both."
...

With just $100 left to last him through the end of the month, the 20-year-old said a food bank might be his best option.

"It kind of grosses me out," McManaway said. "But if my parents say, 'No, we're not going to give you any more money,' it may be a last resort."

Bush, you bastard. This must be your fault and when Obama gets home, you're gonna pay.
