Working parents feed their children in soup kitchens as cost of living soars in Gassaway, West Virginia.

Not only is this sad, but disappointing that we have to rely on international news to find out whats going on in our country.

Things like that are happening all across North America and it is sad and a shame on us. The U.S. and Canada are supposed to be such rich countries spreading our generosity around the world and we can't even feed our own children properly.

Would you rather them not get handouts and starve? Let's face it, there will always be the lazy. And during hard economic times people will have periods of hardship. We should help those people. As to your claim about reliance on foreign media....that is just bufoonery. The POOREST 10% of Americans are among the wealthiest 10% of people on Earth.
