Thank you Obuma!

The number of beneficiaries on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program--food stamps--has now topped 46,000,000 for 36 straight months, according to new data released by the Department of Agriculture (USDA). From September 2011 through August 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. In August 2014, according to USDA, there were 46,484,828 beneficiaries of the SNAP program. That was down slightly—2,060 beneficiaries—from the 46,486,888 who got food stamps in July......

Has this story been vetted by "FCC rules"?

 

[Tom Sweetnam]

That's absurd. How could 46 million Americans be on food stamps with 5.5% unemployment and the polity dancing in the streets, just mad with joy over their collective financial prosperity?

 

[Rotagilla]

The Dept of Agriculture administers the food stamp program, as the OP mentioned, and they are proud to be able to handle the crush as more americans than ever before in history are dependent on government free stuff.

The Dept of the Interior administers the national park system.

When you go to a national park there are signs that say "Please Don't Feed the Animals"

The reasoning is that if the animals become accustomed to getting handouts they become dependent and lose the ability to take care of themselves...and if they don't get their handouts, they become aggressive.

So you didn't see a problem before Obama? ............

The program is fine. The small brains that don't know how to distinguish the people that need it from the fraudulent takers is the problem.

When you attack food stamps as a whole, you just look stupid. And if you take the next step and blame Obama.....

There's an easy solution for this: raise the minimum wage.

The average household on food stamps has a total income of $766 a month. The average recipient receives $133 a month in benefits. 83% of all food stamps funding goes to households with at least one dependent in the household.

You should know by now that the small brains can't read past a title. Cuts in education made sure of that. Can't have the people thinking if we need to use them as slaves and keep all the profits. (and history repeats itself)

What's it like living in your world? Can you send people in this world postcard from your world? I'd love to see what it's like over there. Over here, we're all wondering about how they cut education spending in your world because this is what has happened in our world:

You moron, it's the Democrats (especially Obama) who keep expanding the base of fraudulent takers. Why? Because that's the only way they can expand their voting base. Same reason they want amnesty for 13 million illegals. Damn, you're dumb.

You are such an economic illiterate. We have a flooded labor market. Raising the minimum wage only benefits those who can keep a job, it does nothing for those who lose a job because, NOW PAY ATTENTION, the value that they produce is less than the wage they must be paid.

Better to raise wages by increasing labor scarcity and the best way to do that is to skim off about 20 million low wage workers and send them on an all-expense paid trip to Mexico.

Obama has been expanding Food Stamps and Unemployment ever since NAFTA. Do your own homework. Outsourcing is bad for America. You should know better.

obama doesn't do it out of concern for the poor...he does it to cripple the country and system he was taught to hate.

I've had idiot right wingers tell me that useless jobs are going oversea's and who cares about the uneducated people that use to work them.

And I've had idiot right wingers mad when people are out of work collecting food stamps and welfare.

NAFTA was signed by all parties. Notice a mistake when it's made. Every party signed NAFTA and it's why no one is to blame. Ross Perot stated, "We will hear a huge sucking noise when the jobs leave America"

This isn't a hard topic..............what do you do on hard topics!

Yea, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck make sure the least educated people in America side with them. Just give the rich more! No one will be poor anymore. Do some homework! Oh yea, that's why you failed High School...Not because you are dumb, but probably because they cut funding.

The CBO estimates 500,000 jobs would be lost if raised to 10.10. That's the state that matters. Over time, the increase in economic demand from higher wages will inevitably create jobs.

You people are so dumb. No one is suggesting 50 or 75 per hour. 15 is what is needed. That would be kept up with inflation. As long as it is raised gradually, perhaps over 3 years, the initial economic harm would be small. Over time the increase in consumer spending would improve the economy.
