Yes and self control, because everything tells us spend, spend, spend.

We all know how you feel. Why beat around the bush? Just call them porch monkeys and be done with it. Oh...the Bundy ranch just called...they want their father back.

I'm not the type to engage in "fat shaming" or anything like that, but when I hear liberals tell me how an overweight person is "food insecure" because they can't afford to eat nutritious foods, I can't help but to laugh. Only in America could someone be persuaded to feel bad for a well fed person because they're not eating a fully balanced nutritious meal every day. Well, first world problems, right..?

I've spent time in countries where people would literally pick the scraps off my plate when I was done eating at a restaurant because they were so hungry. Those people had real problems. I'd like to hear one of those liberals tell the 8-year-old child in Yemen what it means to be "food insecure".

You won't have to tell them there. If all the cuts the Republicans want go through, it won't be long until you are telling the older people and children here. One of the reasons we don't have children begging outside restaurants is because of the SNAP program. But apparently, begging children and starving people are what many people in this country want. What can I say? Be careful what you wish for?
