“Since taking office Obama has added an additional 12 million people to the Food Stamp program, an increase of 28% for a record total of 44 million.”

How very true. In addition, folks already on Food Stamps have had their taxpayer-paid government handout increased a lot.

As a triage interviewer for a local food bank. I have seen a tremendous increase in the amount of Food Stamps people get. Typical example: household with three family members (mom and two kids), two years ago: $156/month. Today (no change in household): $309/month.

Gotta keep the government slaves satisfied so they will continue to vote for socialists.

Plus there’s a lot of fraud with Food Stamps. I’ve heard of Food Stamp recipients buying steaks at the grocery store and selling the steaks to their neighbors.
