Happy Veteran’s Day: 40% of NYC Vets Need Food Assistance

Just the sort of headline you’d expect four years into an economic recovery. Well at least we bailed out the TBTF banks and saved Wall Street bonuses!

From CBS:

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Veterans are returning to New York City from their service only to be faced with going hungry, the head a city food bank said.

“On this Veterans Day, when we’re waving our flags — I need every New Yorker to know — 40 percent of New York City veterans are relying on soup kitchens and pantries,” Purvis said.

That amounts to 95,000 people.

“That is not a guesstimate; that is a fact,” she said.

Thanks for your service guys, now here take this EBT card. With any luck you’ll get a part time job in year 10 of the recovery.

You may return home hungry but rest assured and sleep well, israel is still getting $3 BILLION every year plus more such as this dud called the Iron Dome to protect precious zio blood from fire crackers. Everyday that sees you or yours go hungry think how you have protected with your life parasites who are bleeding you dry and with a simple kikeroach spray, could resolve your problems and permit you some food and medical treatment.
