Food Stamps Go to a Record 37.2 Million, USDA Says
Möbius Pretzel
A record 37.2 million people, or about one out of every eight
Americans, received food stamps in September, as the recession drove a
surging jobless rate, according to a government report.
Recipients of the subsidy for retail-food purchases climbed 18 percent
from a year earlier, according to a statement posted today on the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s Web site. Participation has set records
for 10 straight months.

The neat thing about food stamps is they only look at your reported
income when considering your application - income from prostitution,
drug dealing, under the table labor, etc. does not count when deciding
whether you are starving. You can also buy any uncooked 'edible' item
from filet mignon to Cheetos to Red Bull with food stamps, and the
stamps themselves are almost as freely tradable as cash in drug deals
and other illicit transactions.

You aint seen nothing yet , all western taxpayers are DOOMED to slowly

Food Stamps haven't actually been Food Stamps for years, maroon. It's a
debit card, and you need a PIN number to use it. They're not "tradable"
at all. You really "spinned" that into a great big pile of feces didn't

How much of that was driven by IMMIGRATION? As in what percentage of
"Americans" getting food stamps are children of illegal aliens - who
(now) can qualify for welfare benefits, even though their illegal-
alien parents cannot?
Deport the illegals - and both cut welfare spending while increasing
help for needy Americans born to Americans.

Food Stamps Go to a Record 37.2 Million, USDA Says
By Alan Bjerga
December 11, 2009 (Bloomberg) --- Dec. 8 -- A record 37.2 million people, or
about one out of every eight Americans, received food stamps in September,
as the recession drove a surging jobless rate, according to a government
report.
Recipients of the subsidy for retail-food purchases climbed 18 percent from
a year earlier, according to a statement posted today on the U.S. Department
of Agriculture's Web site. Participation has set records for 10 straight
months.
The government boosted food aid as unemployment soared, heading to a 26-year
high of 10.2 percent in October. The jobless rate cooled to 10 percent last
month, the Labor Department said on Dec. 4.
"We've been working to get that money out the door" to families that need
assistance, Deputy Agriculture Secretary Kathleen Merrigan said last week in
an interview.
Nevada had the biggest increase in food-stamp participation rates from a
year earlier, surging 54 percent, followed by a 46.5 percent jump in Utah,
according to the USDA. Texas had the most recipients at 3.1 million,
followed by California with 2.9 million and New York with 2.6 million.
Recipients increased in every state and the District of Columbia, except
Louisiana. Because of a sharp rise after Hurricanes Ike and Gustav in 2008,
the number of people in Louisiana getting food stamps fell 65 percent in
September from a year earlier. Gains of more than 30 percent from 2008 were
reported in 18 states.
35 Million Budgeted
About 35 million people are expected to receive food stamps each month
through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in the fiscal year
that began Oct. 1, according to the budget that President Barack Obama sent
to Congress in May.
"In this economic time, SNAP has been essential," Merrigan said. The
participation rate of state residents who are eligible for food stamps
varies widely, the USDA said last month in a report based on 2007 data.
In Missouri, about 100 percent who were eligible that year took advantage of
the program, the highest rate in the nation, followed by residents of Maine
and Michigan, at 91 percent and 89 percent, respectively, the USDA said.
Wyoming's participation rate of 47 percent was the lowest in fiscal 2007,
followed by California and Idaho at 48 percent and 50 percent, according to
the study.
Nationwide, participation in the food-stamp program was 66 percent of those
eligible for the aid in 2007, the USDA said. The department has budgeted for
a rate of 68 percent in the current 2010 fiscal year.
"We know of a lot of people who are SNAP-eligible who are not participating
in the program," Merrigan said. "We are working with states to improve
participation."

are allowed welfare benefits because they were born here - even
though, in reality, their illegal-alien parents who aren't eligible
will of course eat some if not much of the food they buy with the food
stamps.
Easy, fast way to reduce welfare spending - and have more of it for
needy Americans born to Americans - is to deport all illegal aliens.
wuffa
oh guy there are no stamps as such any more it all on a card called
Electronic Benefit Transfer card.

Marx was writing about a Europe so backwards and poor its natives were
fleeing to America. Mao was writing about how to do revolution in a
backwards and very-poor society. NEITHER was writing about any
superficially-affluent welfare state - as no welfare state then
existed in Europe during Marx's lifetime, and China was more in
continued revolution through Mao's and poor.
Thus, very little of what either wrote has any applicability to
America - or Europe - today.
