46 million Americans go to food banks, and long lines for dwindling food supplies begin at 6:30 AM<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Children<\/a>Those that run food banks all over America say that demand for their services just continues to explode.\u00a0 It always amazes me that there are still people out there that insist that an \u201ceconomic collapse\u201d is not happening.\u00a0 From their air-conditioned homes in their cushy suburban neighborhoods they mock the idea that the U.S. economy is crumbling.\u00a0 But if they would just go down and visit the local food banks in their areas, they would see how much people are hurting.\u00a0 According to Feeding America spokesman Ross Fraser,\u00a046 million Americans<\/a>\u00a0got food from a food bank at least one time during 2014.\u00a0 Because the demand has become so overwhelming, some food banks are cutting back on the number of days they operate and the amount of food that is given to each family.\u00a0 As you will see below, many impoverished Americans are lining up at food banks as early as 6:30 in the morning just so that they can be sure to get something before the food runs out.\u00a0 And yet there are still many people out there that have the audacity to say that everything is just fine in America.\u00a0 Shame on them for ignoring the pain of millions upon millions of their fellow citizens.<\/p>\n

Poverty in America\u00a0is getting worse<\/a>, not better.\u00a0 And no amount of spin from Barack Obama or his apologists can change that fact.<\/p>\n

This year, it is being projected that food banks in the United States will give away an all-time record 4\u00a0billion<\/strong>\u00a0pounds of food.<\/p>\n

Over the past decade, that number\u00a0has more than doubled<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And that number would be even higher if food banks had more food to give away.\u00a0 The demand has become so crushing that some food banks\u00a0have actually reduced the amount of food each family gets<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

Food banks across the country are seeing a rising demand for free groceries despite the growing economy, leading some charities\u00a0to reduce the amount of food they offer each family<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
