Joni Ernst's bread bag story sounds like its supposed to be about poverty, but since it's just about preserving your shoes it actually has no connection. Clearly every family wanted to do the same thing, whatever it really was.
Let me tell you about poverty and shoes.
When I'm doing well, I stock up on things, mostly food. But currently, I'm deep in debt and am putting off buying new shoes. I would have bought some in October, and even that was a wait; I was putting up with a pair of sneakers that started to fall apart within a month of buying them and are now unfit for wearing in wet weather. So for winter, I've switched to my spare pair, which are a semi-business style and seem to be holding together despite being from the same store and the same manufacturer. I wouldn't normally wear this pair because the tops aren't as high and my socks can get a little wet above the shoes.

From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
