The US Department of Agriculture says it will not tap into its $6 billion contingency fund to cover food stamp benefits next month, according to an agency memo obtained by CNN. That means that roughly 42 million Americans will not receive critical food assistance from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, in November, unless the agency shifts its position.
This is so sad, USA could be such a nice place, lots of space, lots of resources, several types of climate to suit any taste.
And USA is among the richest countries in the world.
And yet the American population chooses this?
I really hope something will happen to make Americans change their outlook on politics, towards something more socially responsible.
Here in Denmark we had a guy named Grundtvig, who in the 1800’s were a key figure to turn the Christian view away from the doomsday mentality towards a more humane and positive version of Christianity, in part by writing beautiful uplifting psalms.
I hope USA will see a similar influence on American society in general.
