The Patriot Post® · Working for Food Stamps

Barack Obama sure has brought about hope ‘n’ change. One big change is in food stamps. Some 47 million Americans now receive them at an exploding annual cost of $80 billion – twice the price of five years ago. But another change is the demographics of the recipients of food stamps. For the first time, working-age Americans make up a majority of recipients. Food stamps have historically been a safety net for the young and the old, but in Obama’s “recovery” working-age people need the help even more.
