ParticipantOnce again your answers display an elitist attitude that you know what is best for others and that they can “cope”. Furthermore your examples of how to “cope” display just how out of touch you are with families, senior citizens, and other people who basically live paycheck to paycheck.
You have this sense that everyone can live like you and get by and “cope” just like you do. You are a single (probably white) male who likes to think that people can just wade through what will be the hardest times they will have faced with solutions like eating oatmeal and yogurt.
Furthermore you “agree” with someone who makes a stupid comment about eating poor even though that poster just recently bought a home. What does that poster know about “eating poor”?
I know several military families who are just barely getting by. My wife does volunteer work with other families who are on the brink. Honestly your statements are so damn arrogant it is really astounding.
You make it sound like these high prices will only be temporary and the govt will fix everything in a few months. Don’t worry about it… build denser housing. Really? That is your answer? Have you ever been to govt housing projects Brian? Your snappy one liner will be, “Well the govt can make more efficient housing that will be cheap!” Really Brian? When? When pigs freeking fly.
What is your solution for seniors on fixed income?

Yes our country has severe, very very severe problems. We are fat, we are lazy. This may or may not change. May argument is not that change will not come, because brother it may not. I would be far more willing to bet that many people will indeed NOT BE ABLE TO COPE. They will have a substantially reduced quality of life. They dont get to travel to Vietnam or own a place in Philly like lucky Brian does. They struggle through life as a single mom at Vons with 2 kids, or a 72 year old man living on SS. They are a military family needing help from charity or their church to make ends meet.
You could use some reality lessons Brian. Your arrogance is shocking.

ParticipantSDR, your spouse might already know this but the The San Diego Food Bank has many distribution centers throughout the county where those in need can go in and get some commodities and other grocery items to tide them over until the next payday.
See: http://www.sandiegofoodbank.org/pdf/programs/CSFP%20EXCEL%20Calendar%20for%20Website-1.pdf
In addition, there is Meals on Wheels available for seniors living alone:
As far as the military families in need are concerned, the Navy Relief Society (may currently be under a different name) can advance active duty families funds for groceries and other emergencies, but they will require financial counseling as a condition of accepting their assistance.
The DECA commissaries (North Island, 32nd St and Miramar) have prices that are 20-50% lower than civilian supermarkets (for the same item). In the bent can/taped-up box “markdown” section of the commissaries, the savings are 60-80% lower than civilian supermarkets. The commissaries have two cash register lines devoted solely to WIC and EBT card recipients. All active duty personnel and their families can shop there, as well as retired senior citizens and their spouses. In addition, ALL of the commissaries are on bus lines and one is on a trolley line as well.
All active-duty military families are eligible for free housing and utilities at a military housing complex or a for LARGE “housing allowance” instead. Here is the current schedule of monthly housing allowances for members with dependents for the San Diego region by rank (page 4):
http://images.military.com//ContentFiles/2011-bah-rates-with-dependents.pdf
E-1 to E-4: $1941
E-5: $2019
E-6: $2196 …If the “impovershed” military families that you are referring to here are local tenants NOT living in military-owned housing, then it is very possible that they are renting a property far above their housing allowance and means and/or are not used to paying for utilities out-of-pocket because the military pays for them in military housing. Their solution then is to rent a cheaper unit/house until they are able to move into military-owned quarters.
When the military garnishes the member’s housing allowance because he/she moves into government quarters, the only utilities they are responsible for there are cable TV, internet and cell phone. The rest of their base pay can be used for vehicle expenses, food, discretionary items and savings. If they use military clinics and hospitals, their health care is free for the entire family. They don’t even have co-pays, except in as an inpatient at a Naval Hospital. Those co-pays were $10 per day (“per diem”) last time I checked!
There is no excuse whatsoever for a military family to not have enough food to last until the next payday. There are ready and willing financial and budget counselors standing by to assist these families at all Family Service Centers throughout the county. In addition, a ship or squadron ombudsmen has many resources to help these families if they are contacted for help.
Young servicemembers who rank less than E-3 (an “A” school student or recent graduate) are heavily counseled and encouraged by the military from the day they show up for basic training NOT to marry or have families until they have at least achieved the rank of E-3 (and preferably E-5). Often, to a single mom living in an impovershed area of the country (with or without a HS diploma or GED), finding and “landing” a military-member spouse is considered to be a ticket out of town and into security for themselves and their children. Some of these spouses end up in coastal CA counties with their built-in family as an extra “seabag” for a young servicemember, who is ill equipped to deal with this huge responsibility and expense. This also may be part of the problem you may be seeing with “impovershed” military families.

March 7, 2011 at 4:32 PM #674563ParticipantBG I understand all that and these resources are lifesavers for those in need. However when you see anyone, ANYONE make statements like,
“In America we have a problem of obesity not starvation so we should do something about it.”
or
“Eat the whole fruit and drink water”
in the same context as saying we can cope with inflation and we are seeing rising prices of food, water, energy, sewage… pretty much everything… it just makes my head spin.
Oh these people don’t buy fruit because they don’t like it? Really? I mean REALLY? Perhaps it is maybe because they cannot afford it. Have some damn kids and then you can give advice about parenting.
Honestly it just blows my mind. Talk about not having a frigging clue.
Perhaps some people should google hunger in America and think before they post their little one line quips.
