Recovery Summer. I would to see the demographic breakdown of the people going to the food banks. I bet there is a large Hispanic component. I drive by a church that hosts a mobile health clinic every week or so. When I drive by almost 100% of the people lined up are Hispanics immigrants.

[Fido969]

It’s “food insecurity”.

[MaxMax]

I stopped giving to food banks when I realized 90% was going to illegals.

"despite the growing economy"

What a collection of slugs & @sskissers the MSM is.

[Rinnwald]

Unexpected. (drink)

[SES1066]

If there was a GOP President, the MSM would be camped out in front of the White House since 2010, demanding an explanation of the increasing poor and hungry. Since it is not a GOP President, no interest!

[DoughtyOne]

What is this, recovery summer five or six?

[Paine in the Neck]

"Surprising"? As in UNEXPECTED^®?

[Uncle Miltie]

Whoa!

You mean if food is free demand is high?

Who knew!

[Buckeye McFrog]

When I drive by my local food bank the line is filled with white-trash losers wearing $130 sneakers and driving fancier vehicles than I can afford.

[SpaceBar]

40 million illegal aliens is a lot of mouths to feed.

Obama is quartering foreign troops on US soil.

[DannyTN]

And how many candidates are talking about jobs and trade policy? 1 TRUMP

[Secret Agent Man]

Illegals like to eat for free. Honestly we would not have such crises if we weren’t taking care of tens of millions of other countries’ people they refuse to take care of themselves.

We’re taking care of the tens of millions of citizens they refuse to take care of themselves.

Lets use their own phraseology back on them describing the real truth here.

[Chickensoup]

surprising?

[PGR88]

Why is anything “surprising?”

First of all, economics 101 tells you the potential demand for anything free is infinite.

Second of all, over the last decades, and particularly under Obama, the USA has created a massive, non-working, dependent under-class. The reasons are many, but overall, the country pays printed fiat money and debt to support at least 50 million non-working adults. Why would they not go for free food as well??

[1Old Pro]

They once did a study:

Double the free food and it all gets taken. It doesn’t mean poverty doubled, it means that people will take free stuff.

[tcrlaf]

Surprising???

Not to anyone that has paying attention to what the hell has been happening in American for the last seven years, and not just regurgitating whatever the Radical Obamunists tell you to say.

[george76]

Not a growing economy .

102 Million adults not employed and more businesses are closing than opening.

[Yaelle]

What would the food bank supply look like if every person in the USA was here legally?

[fatnotlazy]

It may depend on where you live. I know of a food bank that is seeing more and more formerly well employed individuals now out of work and can't afford to feed themselves and their families. As one official said, some of their clients once were regular donors to the food bank. Now these donors need help.

Every time I hear unemployment is around 5%, I want to scream.

[Michael.SF.]

My wife works with a woman who goes to the food bank on a regular basis. Both the woman and her husband work, so they do not need to go there, they are just cheap. One day she brought in a half a flat of tomatoes for everyone.

My wife passed, others did not.
