This just doesn’t pass the smell test - 1 out 4 children on Food Stamps. Most children have at least one sibling. So that means that 1 out of 2 families (give or take) are on food stamps. Does anyone believe that, let alone 1 out of 4?

I believe it is possible that 1 in 4 children is on food stamps. I know that in my little California town, for the last couple of years, when I go grocery shopping I am literally the ONLY one in line paying with my own, earned, money. Everyone in front of me is using the state food stamp "debit" cards. I am not exaggerating.

It has not always been like this.

The distribution of children among income quintiles is not uniform.

Welfare queens have more children than doctors' wives, perhaps?

Cheers!
