And about 90% of the comments here are scoffing at the woman's poor shopping habits.
It's a little bit like saying, "'Course you got raped honey -- look at what you're wearing!"
My focus is on the damage being done by Obama. Criticizing someone's grocery bill is not on my radar.
Let me ask you though -
would you think someone would spend more or less money on any budget item, in this case, groceries, if someone else were paying for it?
Well, you’re right. And she does not live in a mansion—it’s just a modest little rancher on a cul-de-sac without much room for a serious garden, much less room for chickens, goats, fruit trees, and other things that cut the food bill. Inflation is a serious problem, and I’d be in real trouble if my son couldn’t go out and hunt his own game.
It's not her shopping habits that are the issue. It's her disconnect. Trying to demonstrate hardship while spending, after cutting back, $12000 a year on food doesn't help her point. In fact, it decries her point.
Poor shopping habits are usually indicative of other problems that end up snowballing into one big problem.

You forgot the Nazi references.

Obama is exacerbating damage that is mostly self-inflicted.
Obama didn't create the mortgage crisis. He is merely encouraging victimhood. Those people who bought houses they could afford, made their payments on time and paid them off are the ones who look like chumps now.
Obama didn't create the credit card crisis either. He is merely capitilizing on the crisis by calling people who overspent the good guys, and those people are all too happy to agree with him. The folks who don't ever pay interest because they pay off all of their bills on time are the ones who are called deadbeats.
Obama didn't create the student loan crisis. He is just telling the people who paid a lot of money for the privelege of ending up with no marketable skills what they want to hear. The folks who worked their way through college or paid off their loans are quickly becoming an oddity and will be considered stupid for not cashing in on their victimhood.
Now people who scrape, save and cut corners to feed their families on a modest budget are being compared to heartless people blaming rape victims for somehow bring the rape upon themselves. Do you see any sort of a pattern here?
