Meanwhile, here in our own country kids go to bed hungry every night, many families have no homes, live on the streets and unemployment continues to soar. Who is to blame, you might ask? We are all at fault for allowing this travesty to continue for too many years. As Harry Truman once said, “The buck stops with me (each of us).”
