EVER FEWER IRANIANS CAN AFFORD TO BUY BASIC FOOD

I have searched high and low in my files to find the photos of housewives at city dumps in Iran, I had saved. These depicted women and children meeting garbage dump trucks and trying to salvage food and anything they could sell to pay for the staggering cost of life in Iran. Staggering compared to incomes.

At the time, the focus was government industrial workers not being paid for as long as nine months to a year and going hungry.

The man in the photo below searches for scraps of bread and other food to sustain himself and his family. He's not homeless, he's indigent because food prices have spiraled out of control inside Islamic Iran - despite HUGE windfall profits from oil rice increases pouring into the Mullah Treasury.




The video below, Farsi with English subtitles, uses tomatoes as an example of the impossible level of food prices - except in the neighborhood of President Ahmadi-Nejad, the stinky Turd.

To put perspective to the pricing shown in the video (often shown in dollar equivalents) a monthly $100 salary is a wonderful one and a well paid Mullah judge receives about $300 a month. In general, the average income inside Iran for the average worker (when they do get paid) is LESS than ONE Dollar a day.

So to buy tomatoes at the prices shown in the video, or the eggs or potatoes the woman complains about is more than a day's pay! And MUCH higher than the prices we pay in the USA, (though this may be changing in the near future) and where our payscales are WAY higher - even for so called poverty level Americans, who would live like millionaires.

The average Iranian in Mullah Land - calling it Iran is a misnomer with clerical Taazi Arabs in charge - has taken to working at two or three jobs, closing his eyes to his wife and daughters prostituting themselves as they cannot find any legitimate employment in the Islamic men-only world AND if in any kind of position to ask for a bribe for perfoming their duties to insist on this "user-tax" to try to pay for their basic living expenses rather than to gather riches.

The bribe scenario changes at high level positions where contracts and business or import licenses require a Mullah or high level official's approval. But provide big profits.

What puzzles me with Obama, the Democrats and Liberals insisting that dialogue with Mullah Land MIGHT be useful is why they believe a Regime which cares so little about their own people would care about anything we could offer them. Short of total capitulation and implementation of Islamic sharia law inside the USA.

But as the article being posted above shows, they are going full out to support Obama.
