   But that was from thier own choice of actions.  Not because they were taxed   
   to the point of not being able to feed themselves.  Also with the elderly it   
   most often is because they choose the wrong foods or don't know where to go   
   to get help if they are low income.   
      
   The original claims was the cost of sending the Mars rovers was causing   
   people to starve to death here on earth.
