Poverty under Trump: 1 in 5 children goes hungry
Hunger in America has increased under Trump due to the combination of soaring food prices, stagnating wages, growing unemployment and the Trump administration’s unrelenting assault on social programs.

Since February 2020, the price of steak has increased by 54 percent and ground beef by 51 percent.

Sales of rice are up 7.5 percent as are sales of canned beans. “Beans and rice,” popularized by the self-help guru Dave Ramsey, are becoming the national diet.

The combination of soaring prices, stagnating wages and declining job prospects are driving a surge in poverty across the US.

In an indication of what the ruling class is planning and its implications, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) on Saturday announced the “termination of future Household Food Security Reports,” which have been released every year for 30 years to document the state of hunger in the country.

Americans should start eating more rice. This will better help them integrate into Asia.

They won't have a choice.

America is now under corporate feudalism.

The Labor Department’s monthly jobs figures have shown a marked trend downward over the course of the year, and, for the first time since the 2020 recession, the US economy actually lost jobs in June. The trend is driven by mass layoffs throughout the economy.

Once workers lose their jobs, they are staying unemployed longer than at any time in recent memory. This month’s jobs report showed that 26 percent of jobless Americans have been out of work for 27 weeks or more, the highest share since the 2021 recession.

I think that for America to survive it has to be a part of Asia and all Americans must identify as Asians.

Not only would Americans be better and more youthful looking, they'd also be healthier and smarter.

this is a global phenomenon, not anything specific to Trump and the USA, we've been going downhill as a species for several decades now, income disparity between the top 10% of wealth holders and the rest of the population has been growing at an exponential rate all across the globe.

The US is not the only place on earth where people can no longer afford the amenities such as housing that their boomer generation grandparents easily had access to.

This is all payback for uncontrolled economic growth of the post war era.

But the statistics are getting much worse under Trump.

Food inflation and job losses under Trump.

They can take the jobs left by the immigrants. Put the magas on that.

Again, why aren't the parents feeding their own kids?

Unemployment.

Food insecurity remains at elevated levels for Washington, DC-area residents in 2025 and the percentage of people experiencing the most severe level of food insecurity has risen, exacerbated in recent months by the Trump administration’s cuts to federal jobs and funding
If people can't afford food there are food banks that give out free boxes full of food.
Sure...
