Over the last three years, the number of Americans on food stamps has skyrocketed by two-thirds and stands at a record-high 46 million citizens, or one out of every seven people in the United States. Despite the historic rise in food stamp use, however, the Obama Administration believes not enough people are receiving food stamps who should be and is offering $75,000 grants to groups who devise “effective strategies” to “increase program participation” among those who have yet to sign up...

Simple explanation: vote buying.

Read only the excerpt, and immediately looked to see if it was satire/humor. I was disappointed, but not shocked.

[redstateone]

That’s funny...and sad, as you point out.

Another commie scheme to funnel taxpayer dollars to their useful idiots down at ACORN.

[redstateone]

Wow. Certainly fits the theory, doesn’t it?

[rockinqsranch]

This is all about, as is most of what the b-stard, and his associates are doing getting everybody possible obligated to BIG GOVERNMENT for their lives FOR THE VOTES.

Nice economic growth attitude there by the wrecker in chief.

[ClearCase_guy]

Obama is not here to govern. He is here to destroy.

[terycarl]

he will have to borrow all those $75,000 grants from China...brilliant strategy

[paintriot]

Idiots.

[MindBender26]

Exactly, and 99% of Americans have no idea who they are, or how dangerous they are!

"But we still don't understand why you would be so rude as to call President Obama The Food Stamp President".

The Government Teat is super sized and getting larger. Now we need more irresponsible suckers. nobama sez we can never, ever have too many sheepl on food stamps.

Food stamp abuse is already epidemic and getting worse.

Get savvy in the grocery checkout line. You’ll be amazed and outraged. That’s OUR money they are stealing.

Conclusion: “If organizers can deliver millions of dollars in cash benefits to the ghetto masses, it seems reasonable to expect that the masses will deliver their loyalties to their benefactors. At least, they have always done so in the past.”

How to mint new democratic voters, and all on the taxpayers dime? - what’s not to like? /s

"...the Obama Administration...is offering $75,000 grants to groups who devise 'effective strategies' to 'increase program participation'..."

Good. Let the debt regime meet its consequences (bond collapse, layoff of most government employees and other government beneficiaries, repudiation, currency adjustment, manufacturing again) more quickly. As for the offer, no. No! No, no matter what! We no longer need the plantation.

All of you who can, grow a new kind of victory garden. Use heirloom seeds. [Oppose big ag. It's business-linked and is part of the commie establishment.] Donate the extra food to local charities and poorer neighbors. Encourage them to garden.

Raise livestock in every little pasture. The beef headcount is lowest now since 1952!
