There are a lot of overeducated underemployed baristas in this country. As far as I can tell, the Republican jobs plan is to have even more overeducated underemployed Americans.
You must have failed Econ 101. Food stamps don't lead to price inflation.
Have you ever shopped in a store where most the customers were food stamp and WIC users?
Those people don't need to shop around, they don't see it as their own hard earned money like a working person must. They don't think anything of "buying" a $5 gallon of milk because for them it's all free food. They do bring prices up because the stores know they don't care about prices when it's all free.
The American citizen was once the envy of the world. They have now been reduced to wage slaves and beggars.
The wealthy have declared war, and won.
Uh, no, that would be the Marxist redistributing the wealth of American manufacturing and industry to 3rd world countries. Yet, the blue collar workers continue to vote for POTUSs with the policies, like Bill Clinton and Obama, who continue to force the US into trade agreements that harm the US.
Yes, Obama has managed to increase the number of US residents using food stamps to an all time high of 15% of the US population. Let's hear a big round of applause for the foodstamp POTUS from all his supporters!
He deliberately set out to increase food stamp users according to his Secretary of Agriculture.
"U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack backed a White House claim that food stamps, which the Department of Agriculture administers, actually constitute a stimulus program, describing it as “the most direct stimulus you can get into the economy during these tough times.” The reason the number of recipients has increased is that the federal government has been working more closely with local governments to get more Americans on food stamps, Vilsack said."

Oh please, the people who are on the program get a finite amount of dollars per month that must last a month. They have an economic incentive to stretch their allotment.

Did you deduct this by observing people while shopping?
