Obama Is Historic: Food Stamp Recipients Set Another Record High!

[Vigilante]

It's alright though, we just borrow money to pay for it, after all, when we borrow SO MUCH FUCKING MONEY, we can always pay it back since the dollar will be WORTHLESS!

The number of Americans on food stamps has topped 46,000,000 for 35 straight months, according to data from the Department of Agriculture (USDA).
From September 2011 through July 2014, the latest month for which data is available, the number of persons participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has exceeded 46 million. As of July 2014, there were 46,486,434 beneficiaries of the SNAP program.

While the number of persons participating in SNAP in July declined slightly from the 46,496,252 who were participating in June, the number of households participating increased in that same time frame from 22,714,042 in June to 22,715,583 in July.
In fiscal year 1969, the average monthly participation in the SNAP program was 2,878,000. In fiscal year 2013, it was 47,636,000, an increase of 44,758,000 or 1,555 percent.

In 1969, the national population stood at 202,676,946, meaning the 2,878,000 persons on food stamps represented 1.4 percent of the population. In 2013, the national population stood at 316,128,839, meaning the 47,636,000 average persons participating in SNAP represented 15.1 percent of the population.
In 2013, one in five American households, or 20 percent, participated in the SNAP program. In 2013, there were 23,052,396 households that participated in the SNAP program, which was 20 percent of the 115,013,000 population.

Why aren't wages high enough to sustain a family?

If you wring your hands over food stamps, perhaps more consideration toward a living wage standard might make sense.

Higher wages mean MORE UNEMPLOYED, or at the very least a DROP in hours worked, and as Wal-Mart is planning on doing, DROPPING it's healthcare coverage for PART TIME workers, so it will cost YOU, ME and all tax payers MORE MONEY to pay into the medicade system that will have to pick them up... Are you actually THIS STUPID, or is your fucking liberalism running FREE RANGE today?

And, instead of voting for Rs who fight against job creation and economic recovery, how about we work for the good of the country?

Like Obama has done.

 

[S.J.]

This is what happens when we go down the road to socialism. And you libs who fall back on the "living wage" argument, get used to living below the poverty level because if we stay the course we'll ALL be in poverty (even you sycophants who still support Obama).

[Rozman]

Libs see this as a good thing.
Republicans,not so much.

Is it a crowning achivement of the Democrat party that they are helping so many people.
Or is it a condemnation of their policies that so many people need this help.

Democrats are in power.
This is happening on their watch.

LOL!
The economy sucks, wages are stagnant, and government dependence is at an all time high BECAUSE of what Obama has done. He has been president for 6 years, ya know.

Way to go and prove that you are far left programmed drone..

You fit right in with no question.

You far left types nee to stop taxing everything to death and stop causing the price of everything to rise.

Then again why does the poor need an Iphone? Cable? Cadillac SUV? XBOX? PlayStation?What do you really need beyond food, shelter and clothing?

Another perfect example of the far left and their programmed talking points..

See they share the same programming. Empirical evidence they do have any independent thought.

Either way, those getting a living wage or a wage higher than the skills they have are worth would be getting something they didn't earn. The welfare they get isn't earned and the wage based on existence rather than skills is the same.

If you wring your hands over someone with low skills making an equivalent level low wage, perhaps you can open YOUR wallet and buy their groceries, pay their power bill, and fund their healthcare premiums. .

You're right of course. Children living in poverty deserve to starve because the circumstances they were born into. Had those children shown some initiative, they would have willed themselves to be born into a Conservative family earning enough to send them to Bob Jones University when they graduate from home school.

My children don't deserve to do with less because some parent isn't getting the job done. What makes you think that kids I didn't help create deserve something that causes me to have less to give to the ones I did?

You're right of course. Those low life, low achieving children would be much better off dying in the gutter rather than receive any largess from the GREATEST NARTION ON EARTH!!!! U S A! U S A! U S A!

Those children you say you care about so much wouldn't die if you, as a bleeding heart, would actually do what you say needs to be done for them instead of simply talking about what needs to be done. Claiming the rest of us should be forced to do it isn't doing anything but running your mouth. Tell you what. You want to feed someone else's kids, take them shopping and buy their groceries yourself. I take responsibility for the ones I created not the ones someone else did and that you think I should be responsible for. If the woman makes the choice to have them, a choice I'm willing to give her, she gets the responsibility to support them.

The only thing Obama has done is pandered. The list includes sluts who want birth control for free, faggots that want to get married, blacks to keep them on the Democrat plantation, and any other group that he thinks will support his agenda. That does no good for me. The thing is, unlike you, I don't expect the government to do for me.
