Between Feb. 2007 and now, food stamp participation has increased from about 26 million to 42.9 million. That’s 14% of Americans now on food stamps. That’s approximately one-in-seven. Every seventh person you see is on food stamps.
Of course, Wall Street, where insider selling is at a record, more than 8,000 times more sellers than buyers, is kicking ass, and taking obscene record bonuses for destroying your lives on your government-subsidized dime. Party on. Obama digs the entire scene, man. Like, Wow. Trippy dude.
Any White House holiday parties serving cat-food?

I’ll box your ears good, hear? I’m talkin’ a meetin’ of the external and internal meati.
The money rapidly enters the economy, can’t be used for speculating etc.
The food business is a relatively labor intensive industry so it helps there, and there is a domino effect where the family using food stamps then has a few dollars to buy basics like clothes and other essentials.
Must mean something. I wonder if anyone else has noticed that.
