In reply to the discussion: The vetting of Bernie: Bread lines are a good thing [View all]Eko
(7,246 posts)"They may be the best that can be done about a horrible situation but they are never a good thing. The state of the economy and government that brings their necessity means both have failed miserably and bread lines are a last ditch effort to stop starvation. "
They are not a good thing, they are not phenomenal, they are a sign of a failed government and economy. I ate govt cheese, powdered milk, for desert we would put sugar on bread. Soup was our main dinner with grilled cheeses if we were lucky. Don't tell me that crap is a good thing. Don't tell me that was phenomenal unless you did it. Don't you even presume to bring your politics to something that obviously you don't know about and tell me it was a god damn good thing. It wasn't. It was subsistence poverty, with your mom working 12-16 hours a day and being a latch key kid, hardly any vegetables except maybe a can of green beans every now and then, heat being what wood you could cut and put in the wood stove. Please don't presume to tell me any of that was phenomenal because it wasn't at all.
A good thing,
SMH,
I guess I was the lucky one huh!
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
