As of July, the national population was 318,857,056, the Census Bureau estimates. Thus, the 46,674,364 on food stamps equaled 14.6 percent of the population.

The number of households on food stamps increased from 22,749,951 in September to 22,867,248 in October, an increase of 117,297.

As of September, according to the Census Bureau, there were 115,831,000 households in the country. Thus, the 22,867,248 households on food stamps in October equaled 19.7 percent of the nation’s households.

Yes, thank you Oblama for helping to follow Christ's teachings about generosity and being your brothers keeper..something religious organizations could not do all by themselves

Wouldn't you rather these people got a job building infrastructure, advancing our science edge or creating new r&d???

There a fewer jobs. Sure, UE rate is 5.6% and all 1,275 jobs are filled

Yeah Obama sets a great example of liberal generosity with your own money, the way he helps his own brother.

Is that why he had to borrow money from someone else, for medical bills?

Uh, Dude, ... I think you've spaced out the real meaning behind this.

Something to do with stagnant wages, lack of productivity, inflation, higher cost of living, etc.

A new New Deal would be great. Just what the country needs. Eighty years after the New Deal and we are still reaping benefits and profiting from many of those projects.

More than half of the food stamp recipients work. For nearly nothing.

I think we should start a 'work as you go' program. Since the moms, and sometimes dads, were irresponsible in bringing life into the world for which they could not sustain, in order to receive welfare you must clean the shoulders of our highways. A welfare chain gang if you will. Oh, and since the WE/FEDS are paying for your kids, the FEDS can provide free day care to boot for your illegitimate kids while you work off your pay

A win win for society

That's called a job. You are suggesting that the government is a potential job creator. I love the way you think.

46 Million?

That is horrible! Obama needs to start doing something about it. Lets start by raising the minimum wage to $10 and to $15 within five years

Lets start taxing companies whose employees need to go on food stamps to survive

What say you conservatives? Are you with me?
