Our soup kitchen lines are made of plastic with a magnetic strip.

Because our leaders opened the borders for death train passengers and other assorted dependents from around the world.

But here is one area where the U.S., given its general affluence, would rather not distinguish itself: It has one of the highest rates of child poverty in the industrialized world.

nobama is no doubt thrilled to death with this stat. He's doing all he can everyday to turn us into a government dependent turd world country.

To his way of thinking, there can never be enough people on food stamps, disability, etc. He anxiously awaits the day when the US has the highest rate of child poverty.

re the headline, to which Obama replied: “YES I DID”

[jdege]

That has more to do with our absurd definition of poverty than anything else.

And the title is misleading. 1 in 5 children rely on food stamps should be 1 in 5 children live in families that receive food stamps. Whether they rely on them or not is another issue.

Good food - quality meats, fresh produce, etc., is expensive. There's no way around that. But the traditional staples are dirt cheap.

When my mother was growing up, she had neighbors that lived on feed corn and greens. A fifty pound bag of feed corn costs less than $6. It's not the perfect food, but it's healthier than the processed crap our kids are killing themselves with at the convenience store.

Something like this would have bothered me mot too long ago.

No more.

Baloney. 1 out of every 5 kids I know are not eating by using foods stamps in their family.

Many of them are children of immigrants, legal and illegal.

And one in four American kids, including most tall of the one in five who rely upon food stamps, get breakfast, lunch and even dinner provided free to them as part of head start or school lunch programs.

This is true even during the summer months when school is out in many districts.

Food stamps - it's not just for food anymore.

I keep waiting for the American voter to wake up and become outraged at the fraud and abuse of our social welfare system.

I'm still waiting.

Johnathon Gruber assures me that die to the apathy and economic illiteracy of the American people I will be waiting for a very long time

Rephrase this headline, please:

1 in 5 kids are encouraged to become addicted to government handouts.

[Iron Munro]

Obama wants to make it 5 out of 5

[ForYourChildren]

With unemployment at a near all time low of 5. something, how so many kids be on food stamps.

I think we are being grubered.

“1 In 5 American Kids Rely On Food Stamps”

How about “1 In 5 American Kids RECEIVING On Food Stamps”

[GreyFriar]

This shows how successful bh0’s economic policies have been.

[SaraJohnson]

Our major import is poverty.
