Military families face growing food insecurity

1. Revelation 6
   I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

   3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.

   5 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds[a] of wheat for a day’s wages,[b] and six pounds[c] of barley for a day’s wages,[d] and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

2. This whole story is a lie! You may not be eating T-Bones but you aint starving if you have money to color your hair!

3. I got $699.00 a month as an E1 in 1989.

4. They make 20-24 thousand a year, when they first start out. ***PLUS** they get a housing allowance if married, more $ with children. My step son receives his pay PLUS an extra $2550 housing/food allowance a month. (Varied with state and cost of living) If you can’t pay your bills with all of that, you need a budget and you have a spending problem. Before he was married he lived on base and they fed him. Maybe more people, (not just military)need a course on budgeting. My stepson doesn’t live paycheck to paycheck. We taught him well.

5. But there sending people from other countries to usa

6. Wow

7. This is ridiculous. If anyone should be taken care of, it's our soldiers and their families. Give them food cards. It's simple.

8. Richest country in the world? God is humbling US.

9. If the service members get sick they get help… You get near to nothing.

10. MALITARY FAMILY GETS TREATED LIKE CRAP.

11. It's embarrassing that ANY child has to go hungry in this country, not just children whose parents serve.

12. REPEAT DO NOT HAVE KIDS YOU CANNOT AFFORD. They expect taxpayers to pay for their kids they should not have had on a poor income.

13. How about do not have kids you cannot afford? Reminds me of guys bringing their families over to Europe (for free) and thinking they can have a normal American life in EXPENSIVE Europe!?

14. One of you parents get a second job duh 🙄

15. Not OK..
    We should be ashamed as a country. I had no idea this was going on.

16. Where are the 700 Billion going?

17. How come that is happening

18. They isn't a thing in Boston…to my knowing but y'all act like they can't go shopping like everyone else

19. They don’t want to give you food stamps because of the income restriction ! Smh food is not cheap

20. They need financial training. You can't come into the military with a spouse and lots of kids. You can't buy a brand new car. The entry-level recruits don't make enough to do all that without having a tight budget.

21. i'm shocked! so working for your country = starvation. how is that even possible. wow, the US really doesn't give a sh*t about its citizens. no wonder the crime rate is so high and the drug problem helps some to get through the day. the US in general does the bare minimum to help its citizens, yet spouts how amazing it is. only the very rich can live a good life. doesn't sound like democracy to me.

22. I was suffering from Herpes, i suffered until i meet Dr Osaba on YouTube the great Traditional healer who cured me from herpes virus, for more information You can reach him out on YouTube.

23. Boo fucking hoo. They fought for oil and they think they're entitled? Lets help our actual poor first.

24. I was suffering from Herpes, i suffered until i meet Dr Osaba on YouTube the great Traditional healer who cured me from herpes virus, for more information You can reach him out on YouTube

25. How about we cut pay for desk jockies at the pentagon and pay our military families more.

26. tbo this seems like any family in need of help in America

27. How in the hell is this possible for our military families to go hungry…???? This is not right!!!!!

28. Here's a thought: don't have a family if you're making $20,000 a year

29. Enablers

30. It is dangerous to pay military people that low of a wage they can be easily manipulated

31. The Pentagon is working to track the problem LOL. Oh my freaking God they don't need to call out every mathematician and every engineer to try to figure it out I guess. You either pay people a living wage or you do not pay people living wage and if you're paying people under $25 an hour that is not a living wage. People just cannot realize that.

32. I guarantee you that spouse got so sick and tired of people telling her thank you for your service thank you for your service every two seconds and she's got Roman noodles in the cupboard

33. People love to thank you for your service but these days it's cliche cliche. People have no idea how stupid they sound when they whip that out the second they figure out somebody's in the military.

34. If work was properly rewarded, financially, hand outs would be unnecessary rather than a matter of basic survival.

35. SNAP won't do them much good. I only make $674 social security per month, making me eligible for only $86 food stamps per month. At $21,000 per year, they won't be eligible.
