Healthy soil and sustainable growing

It caught me that they kept saying that the food stamps aren't increasing 
with the price increases of food. Well the paychecks of the working class 
(and other classes but I'm less worried about them) aren't going up either - 
in fact some are going down due to the decrease in construction and 
trucking, and a general decrease in the economy spurring decreases in 
available overtime  etc. So what happens when these marginal people can't 
afford food anymore? There's little left in the foodstamp budget, there's 
little left in the food pantries. That's what scares me, that those who are 
just above the poverty line will fall below it and not have any help 
available for them.

I'm glad I live in an area where I can grow my own food. 'Cause at least I 
have that. As it is I'm pretty sure we won't be able to afford oil next 
winter unless they adjust the income levels for fuel assistance, but to not 
be able to afford food as well, well that's a real kick in the face.
