My Friends today I went grocery shopping with my dad ! We do this at least once a week ! But lately it is getting harder for us and many ! I depend on my dad for income ! I am disabled waiting on SSI . He is elderly and disabled and I take care of him !  I get Food Stamps ! The maximum allowed for a single person with no dependents. But it seems like we both can’t get through the month with enough food ! And I know We are NOT ALONE !

Many who are able to work for a living are struggling ! They have kids some are single ! But it doesn’t matter they live day to day in peril ! When they do not have to. They have choices to make many wouldn’t want to like to pay the Car Payment or Rent ? Or to not have health insurance ! Because they can’t.afford it !  Some of these are the very people I fight to #ExpandMedicaidNow For ! Healthcare is a luxury to many of them ! They face high rents high utilaties and get LOW WAGES IN RETURN  ! Many have to live together sometimes families combined or sleep on a friends couch ! Just to have a place to live ! Many disabled elderly and working people pay 2/3 of income for RENT and Utilaties ! Not Counting Food !

And its not just workers  many elderly and disabled are struggling with surviving too ! The price of Food continues to rise ! And some of the packages get smaller ! As the prices go UP ! UP ! UP ! Making a FEW THAT ARE RICHER and those who worked and are Working Hard POORER ! Many go to bed hungry or cut back so their kids can eat ! We face a real Hunger Problem soon if prices do not stabllize ! Bad enough you work hard for little struggle for a car and place to live ! But now We Fight to eat ! And in The United States of America This is JUST NOT RIGHT ! ?……We are better than that ! Too many come home with little food for their hard work !

This Is ridiculous to do this to people ! The picture above tells the story ! Many working hard to serve you a burger ,bag your Food, Stock A Shelf, Run a Register for You and I ! They do so  anonymously without notice ! While #DonaldTrump flies obnoxiously over them in his Helicopter ! Taking attention away from those who need it ! Yet they come home with little food ! Why because of cost ! Years ago you could spend say $200,00 on Food per month ! That is $50.00 per week ! And actually have extra ! Now you can’t ! That is why I posted the above picture of The EMPTY BASKET ! It is near Reality in Our Nation !  Many Seniors and Disabled struggle on Social Security and they make the same choices as those working do ! And this isn’t right ! Some on Food Stamps only get $20.00 per month ! Tell me how can you eat for a month on that !

I have been Hungry and its no Fun ! 22 yrs ago as a College Student all I had was rice or pasta twice a day ! It was NO FUN ! I never Forgot It and Promised myself No One I knew would ever go hungry if I could help them ! But We can help them by raising Social Security payments or Food Stamps for the elderly and disabled ! All of whom worked hard paid their fair share and deserve better ! May working deserve better too for themselves and their kids ! Raising the Wage to $15.00 Is More than fair ! It will uplift out of poverty and decrease dependence on Food Stamps too ! So its a WIN WIN FOR ALL !  So I support the #FightFor15  and We must #RaiseTheWage !

So We Face a choice Keep it the same America send your neighbors friends church members home with EMPTY BASJETS HUNGRY AND HOPELESS ! Or help do the right thing and #FightFor15 and #RaiseTheWage  ! The EMPTY BASKET BOTHERS ME ….AND THE POTOENTIAL  OF ALL WHO FACE IT !  Does It Bother You America

We At #ExpandMedicaidNow Proudly Support The #FightFor15 and #RaiseTheWage !
Thank You All God Bless
