I am terribly, terribly ashamed

By the US government's own measures nearly 12% of the population went hungry at some point last year. That's 35 million people. To make matters worse the figure rises to 20% for children.

I reckon we can't begin to do anything as a nation to address that as that would be socialism and ungodly.

Something is very, very wrong with the neo-liberal "free" market approach if this can be allowed to happen in the richest country in the world.
