...[T]here was one other, far more important data point released by the government's Department of Agriculture, sufficiently late after the market close to impact no risk assets. That data point of course was foodstamps (or the government's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, aka SNAP), and we are confident that no readers will be surprised to learn that foodstamp usage for both persons and households, has jumped to a new all time record.

At 46,681,833 million the persons hooked on SNAP, the July number crossed the previous record posted a short month before, as the foodstamp curve continues 'plumbing' newer and greater heights each month.

More disturbing is that in the same month, the number of US households reliant on foodstamps rose by a whopping 99,493 to 22,541,744.

This is his agenda .. He wants us ALL dependent on the gov then he can control us even more then he already does

 

[ScienceRocks]

We need to modernize our energy grid
Build the tallest skyscrapers
Have a all of the above energy policies
Rebuild our nation instead of the rest of the world.

This would open up tens of millions of jobs. This is how we be number one...NOT another cent from our techogical sector or Nasa.

This would lower the dependence on food stamps.

This is his agenda .. He wants us ALL dependent on the gov then he can control us even more then he already does

He even went down to Mexico to see how many of them he could put on food stamps. What a guy.

He cares more about the rest of the world than Americans.

We should adopt a hybrid China, U.A.U economic model. One of course that's free market driven, but is capable of putting tens of millions of Americans back to work fast.

we should not cut another cent from our technical sector as they're high paid jobs. We must grow our economy to our spending level.

Grow the economy to spending the level+put tens of millions back to work.

I understand that we're a free market economy...So we work with them and give them the tools to do it.

 

[ScienceRocks]

I say this as it might be able to pass in the congress. Republicans would get a lot of what we want and the democrats get what they want.

Republicans-Larger economy+higher % of the population emloyed+ Likely lower regs.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Democrats would certainly get a lot of what they want.

-Infrastructure here in the Untied states
-Unions would get a lot of jobs
-Plus more

 

[ScienceRocks]

We can't get deep cuts passed in congress and the democrats can't get what they want.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Do I make any sense? We're not getting anything done any other way.

Minimum wage jobs, the kind Romney likes, doesn't pay enough. Foodstamps are needed as a supplement.

At least they'd have a job.
