The other day I read a story on Fox news, about a story on CNN news, about a Stotler family in a Texas town who has 9 kids (most of them adopted or foster BTW, bless their hearts for their giving and helping attitude toward their fellow man). When CNN interviewed the family, they were talking about inflation affecting their grocery bill. How things were a lot more expensive. A LOT of liberals mocked them roundly for this, as the mother mentioned they buy 12 gallons of milk a week. (Most of the mockers failed to check the fact that they had a family of ELEVEN, mostly kids).
Anyway, the mother mentioned that milk used to be 1.99, and now is $2.79, and things like that add up to make a difference.
A lot of mockers questioned that, with some (of course), going to the internet to prove that the average cost of milk had not increased.
The little thing that caught my attention was many mockers who said "milk hasn't been 1.99 since the 1970s".
I thought that comment was especially retarded, because every area and store and deals are different, so nobody can say what another person pays for milk.
And I have gotten a gallon of milk at Walmart for <$2 a MILLION TIMES.......So their derision of her wasn't warranted.
Just the idiocy of someone rushing off to Google "How Much Does Milk Cost", thinking the top 3 results can answer all questions, and thinking they can tell me how much I actually paid last week for milk........is such a dumb result of our information overload generations.
It just rubbed me the wrong way. When you adopt or foster children, you are doing a major labor of love. It can involve MANY problems, complications, struggles, and working things out that would never have been required of you otherwise. I respect the act of fostering or adopting a child similar to respect for people in full-time charitable ministries - but even more, because for foster parents there's no going home at the end of the day - you already are home, and your little Labors of Love are there 24/7.
Obviously the above comment doesn't apply to people who are awful foster parents, just using it as a form of welfare, and I don't dispute they exist, because I've known them.
