Households On Foodstamps Rise To New Record

“once everyone is “equal” we will all starve on welfare”

while eating a steady diet of government cheese and living in a van down by the river!

Actially according to your graph each individual is receiving MORE in benefits so far in 2013

here is how the USDA figures SNAP
Families receiving SNAP assistance are expected to spend 30 percent of their monthly income on food. For this reason, SNAP allotments are calculated by multiplying your family’s monthly income by .3. This number is then “subtracted from the maximum allotment for the household size to find the household’s allotment,” according to neighborhoodlink.com.

food stamp data

Shut down the food stamp program. That would cut almost 1/10th of the yearly deficit. But don’t forget the bipartisan efforts to continue spending increases on public/government education, social services, planning offices, building inspectors, animal worship laws, environmentalist laws, enforcement of feminist laws against men and families, enforcement of laws against heterosexual people, all of those who collect pay without properly doing their jobs, preventing new competition in business and so on.

And before the false allegations are posted, no! I don’t receive food stamps or any other welfare. But many thousands of perverts, thieves and other crooks are sucking big, fat incomes from debt while producing nothing but trouble.
