Disgusting. I especially loved this part:

Quote:

The rising cost of food means their money gets them about a third fewer bags of groceries — $100 used to buy about 12 bags of groceries, but now it's more like seven or eight. So they cut back on expensive items like meat, and they don't buy extras like ice cream anymore. Instead, they eat a lot of starches like potatoes and noodles.

12 bags of groceries? Are you kidding? $100 buys me about three full bags - although that can last me two weeks or more.
These heffa lumps probably spend $100 a week on groceries!

As for eating potatos? That's gonna make you fat...(*)(*)(*)(*)ing hell, am I meant to take this seriously or should I laugh?

Elections have consequences.

I think you made a spelling mistake there.

It should read 'erections have consequences.' Those two should never reproduce.

I spend like $20 to $40 a week on groceries...

So I'm going to assume these people are either overweight or they cook elaborate gourmet meals every day.

I'm going to assume that they are fat and lazy and have done nothing but stuff their faces with buckets of KFC for the past ten years and now want us all to feel sorry for them because they can only buy 3 tubs of ice cream each week instead of their usual half dozen.

I didn't. Some people only learn the hard way. I'm a firm believer in education. Any kind of education.

Must be sandwich bags. $100.00 hardly buys anything.
