Benefit Spending Hits $2 Trillion, Highest Percent Since 1929; One Dollar Out of Every Six From Vouchers

As economic conditions deteriorate and unemployment continues to soar, one in nine Americans are now on food stamps. Moreover, a staggering one of every six dollars of Americans' income is now coming in the form of a federal or state check or voucher.

I wonder how many of those people used to criticize food stamp recipients, complain about having to pay taxes to support
them.

I hope it hurts enough to turn them into human beings.

Interesting philosophy.

Are you referring to the people who are on foodstamps when the economy is good? Why shouldn't people complain about supporting others when there is no apparent reason for those people to not be working?

It's astounding the entitlement mentality that pervades the liberal electorate. Instead of advocating for lthe leaches to get off their asses when times are good, you talk down to the people that are suffering when times are bad. Unbelievable.

In your world, "human beings" are poModerator cut: RACIST living off of taxpayers and have no intentions of lifting a finger to better themselves.

In my world, "human beings" are productive citizens that contribute the common good of this country. Does that mean they should get comfortable with being a leach when times are bad? Absolutely not, and I don't expect many of the new food stamp recipients will stay on food stamps any longer than necessary.

See the difference?
