Food Stamp Office

inflation.us Prepare and Sign Up! Welcome to the Greater Depression As the unemployed and jobless become desperate in California many begin turning their homes into income generators. One house in particular caught my eye recently by turning their living room into a restaurant. In a sign that America is slowly becoming more like a third world country houses become weekend stores, restaurants, Medical Marijuana Collectives, day care centers and beyond. The street is telling the story of the unfolding economic collapse better than any article I can read. Unemployment and Food stamps and Welfare seem to be the lynch pins in our society on the west coast. Once government runs out of funds to support these entitlements, I fear for my children’s future.

Let Them Eat Cake By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS It is not unusual for members of the diminishing upper middle class to drop $20000 or $30000 on a big wedding. But for celebrities this large sum wouldn’t cover the wedding dress or the flowers. When country music star Keith Urban married actress Nicole Kidman in 2006, their wedding cost $250000. This large sum hardly counts as a celebrity wedding. When mega-millionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump married model Melania Knauss, the wedding bill was $1000000. The marriages of Madonna and film director Guy Ritchie, Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren, and Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones pushed up the cost of celebrity marriages to $1.5 million. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes upped the ante to $2000000. Now comes the politicians’s daughter as celebrity. According to news reports, Chelsea Clinton’s wedding to investment banker Mark Mezvinsky on July 31 is costing papa Bill $3000000. According to the London Daily Mail, the total price tag will be about $5000000. The additional $2000000 apparently is being laid off on US Taxpayers as Secret Service costs for protecting former president Clinton and foreign heads of state, such as the presidents of France and Italy and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who are among the 500 invited guests along with Barbara Streisand, Steven Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey, Ted Turner, and Clinton friend and donor Denise Rich, wife of the Clinton-pardoned felon.

REXBURG – The Family Crisis Center is one of the Upper Valley’s safety nets that often goes unnoticed. But if it wasn’t for them, families would often fall through the cracks. The Family Crisis Center helps victims of domestic abuse, sexual assault, and family trauma. “Those victims or those clients know they have a place to go to. That they have someone who can listen to their needs and provide the resources that they need,” said Alesa Gulley with the Family Crisis Center. Resources that come from federal grants, and charity. Coming up Saturday, there’s a 5k run sponsored by the Rexburg Women’s Clinic to raise funds for the Family Crisis Center. “We wanted the family involvement in it,” said Mala Anderson a nurse at the Women’s Clinic. “It’s not just money to help run your business, is it? It’s money that will help families?” I asked. “The money we receive directly impacts the families on an individual basis. We’re able to turn around and help women who leave homes with absolutely nothing, and help them setup new homes. And empower them on personal basis. It really does change and impact women and children’s lives, day by day, hour by hour, and for a lifetime,” said Gulley. The Family Crisis Center just added food to their program about two months ago. They have everything from pineapple to artichokes. Quite a bit of food to help out those in need. While some clients have food stamps already, those that don’t will fall through the cracks quite often. So the Family Crisis …
