Record food stamp use while at the same time experiencing record unemployment and underemployment????

How on earth can they both be happening at the same time!?!?


I'm Shocked! SHOCKED I SAY!!

Cause Government officials is an ever evolving door of those who get elected or appointed, and then leave to re join the private sector....

So I take it, from your post, that your saying the whole Rep vs Dem thing is a rouge??
The revolving door thing is certainly very real. Elites scratching each others backs.

Look who writes our laws, the ones that get passed and not read.

Elections are also owned and controlled. The debates, the parties, the machines etc... (The Big 6/NEP.)

Goldman Sachs US election investment

Ds and Rs is more entertainment or corporate marketing. Ventura calls it the WWF. Doesn't amount to much choice at the end of the day. Both Ds and Rs are getting fat at taxpayer expense. However, many things are done administratively and not through elected officials, even if we pretend they are actually elected.

This is so true. The American people think their vote determines who is president, when in all actuality its Wal Mart who decides.

Default Food Stamp President - Record High Enrollment for Food Stamps: 46,681,833

I guess liberals think 4 more years of this would be a good thing?

When President Obama took office, enrollment in the food stamps program was 31.98 million. Now, not even four years later, it's a whopping 46.48 million.

Food stamps enrollment has hit a new record high. 46,681,833 million are now enrolled in the social welfare program, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, the federal department that runs the program.

Their statistics end in July, so if you project these figures along the same path through October, the number would be even HIGHER.

On May 13, 2002, President Bush signed into law H.R. 2646, the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, also known as the Farm Bill, which includes an expansion of immigrant and refugee eligibility for food stamps.
