The U.S. Department of Agriculture released its latest report on food stamp program participation through September today. I received the email alerting me to the release at 5:17 p.m., so it seems reasonable to believe that USDA and the Barack Obama administration wanted the new data to get as little attention as possible (as will be seen later, it’s currently getting none). If so, they have two probable reasons for wishing to minimize its impact.
The first and more obvious of the two is that the food stamp rolls increased by over 607,000 in September to 47.71 million, yet another all-time record. That’s awful enough, but here’s the real kicker: the participation figure for July, the last month of data available before Election Day, was revised up by over 150,000, changing that month’s reported increase from 11,600 to just under 166,000.

0bama regards this as success.
By 2016, if he chooses not to run again, 0bama will deliver 3/4 of the country in entitlement status to the democrat party.

Pelosi and Reid are elated about these numbers. The increased number of people on food stamps will create millions of new jobs and boost the economy similar to what extended unemployment payments do.
The ditzy Nancy Pelosi says people being on food stamps is “good for the economy”. Geeez. Commie lib elitists. I never get used to those bastards running this country.
