SNAP benefits cost $76.4 billion in fiscal year 2013. Almost $80 billion for ONE Federal food program. Lots of money in poverty.

I just read an article by an economist who is predicting some very bad economic gloom on the horizon. He said people have lulled into the belief that things are actually improving, when in reality the End Game is already in motion. He said Food Stamps mask the real poverty and, yes, the economic depression we are really in.

No kidding! Food Stamps are the modern day Soup lines. If we didn’t have food stamps and housing vouchers there would be a whole lot of Obamavilles in this country.
