“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.

Yes, just check out any convenience store. To hell with the GROCERY STORE, they want it ALREADY MADE for them! If somone could breath for them I’m sure they would ask for that too - bunch of overweight lazy asses.
Not to be a devil's advocate, but have you seen grocery prices lately? That's more of an inflation correction than a raise.

No argumnt there, and I have heard of the same. That's because they can't just sell the paper slips for 50 cents on the dollar down at the bar like they used to (now there's the card....)
