Ali Velshi: 'The United States Is The Richest Country In The World, Yet Millions Are Food Insecure'

[Rhiannon12866]

As the holidays approach, millions of Americans are classified as “food insecure” because they can’t afford to feed themselves and their families. “We have seen the best of America during these dark days but rarely has it come from the nation’s capital,” Ali Velshi says. “It’s time for Congress to pass a second round of relief for those most in need.”

1. "Food Insecure"? How about "Ain't got nothin' to Eat"

3. I agree. Food insecure softens the reality of the situation

And that is a situation that needs hard truth.

2. Ali, what these numbers are not catching is the assistance being provided

by those who are near the financial cliff's edge -- living one big expense from being dragged down into the pit with their relatives, friends, and neighbors.

The USA has plenty of food. And the rich have plenty of money. Past time for the rich to step up to the challenge.
