After all, it's more important that the rich have subsidies for their private airplanes than poor and middle class children have access to reasonably sized classes at their schools. And, they have time, in between their two or three jobs just to make ends meet, to cook a healthy meal for their kids who, of course, just got home from the excellent day-care that is provided by the company. Those execs with the corporate jets have such a rough life! Of course, the argument that the righties give is that "it won't make much difference" for the debt situation, since it's only $10B over 10 years, but of course, if you add up all the little loopholes, right away you get a big number. But, even $100B over 10 years, we shouldn't bother. I guess they don't have a problem taking a $100 bill out of their wallet and tearing it up then? (Assuming they actually have $100, which is a big assumption...) |

" Most convenience stores don't have the staff to handle any variety of fresh produce or poultry, meat, fish products. In the inner city, the situation is even worse because there's no one to go to the large wholesale markets or produce wholesalers willing to deliver. Most of what the stores sell is stuff with a long shelf life. The convenience store exception seems to be WaWa, which carries a much larger variety of reasonably healthy food, but it is not an inexpensive place to shop. Good food is expensive. Poor people can't afford much of it. We have our priorities upside down in this country, which is why we are going down the tubes. -- Want to discuss recreational boating and fishing in a forum where personal insults are not allowed? http://groups.google.com/group/rec-boating-fishing |
