Bush's Growing Economy: "Kids taking food home from school"

"Mimi Ho carries two backpacks filled with food from Noyes Elementary School."

"ST. JOSEPH, Missouri (AP) -- On a recent Friday, about two dozen children went to the Noyes Elementary School office in what has become a weekly ritual at a growing number of schools: picking up backpacks of food so they won't go hungry over the weekend."

"For poor students who eat most of their meals at school through government-subsidized breakfast and lunch programs, weekends and holidays can mean going hungry."

"At Noyes Elementary, where two-thirds of the students get subsidized lunches, 10-year-old Mimi Ho was lugging home two backpacks to help feed her three siblings along with five cousins temporarily staying at her home. The fifth-grader said she eats some of the food and gives some of it away -- particularly the applesauce, which she doesn't like. All the food is gone before Sunday."

Just one more sign of how well Bush is doing his job and how he has every right to claim the booming economy as a victory in his campaign stump speeches.

Worthless S.O.B...
