Starving America

Well now the food giants are going to hike prices on food up as much as they can, and setting a floor on nothing less than 20 per cent on the shelf price. That and rising motor gasoline prices and a tanking economy are pushing the US man or woman on the street to not only pinch pennies but run the risk of joining a growing army of the unemployed and the unsheltered, the hungry and the long line of the poor. And what do we see in the newspapers, nary a word about it. You've to look at the foreign press to find out what's going on in your own backyard. The US has become if anyone hasn't noticed a playland of the rich and the famous and the plunderers of the American people. They've become peons to be exploited to the hilt and to the hilt they're having their noses rubbed in the shit of the rich and privileged.
