Foodstamps Surge By Most In One Year To New All Time Record, In Delayed Release(after election of course)

Food Stamps have replaced Food Lines from the depression!.....Otherwise there would be people standing for food miles and miles and mile waiting to be fed!......and the Fed's know it....but the allusion that all is well is working for now!

How long will the Right be whimpering over their recent butt whooping?

It has been going on for five days with no let-up in sight

If history is any indicator, approximately 1,456 days at a minimum, more if a Democrat wins again in 2016.

It's part of the culture of this country. Wingers will persist with their loopy and paranoid conspiracy theories, flat-out lies, bold and ultimately failed predictions, racist commentary, and hypocritical nonsense until they are briefly satisfied by some election result. Then they return to complaining about topics both old and familiar. And notice I didn't just say that right-wingers do this, although their conspiracy theories tend to be dumber and more far-fetched owing to conservative voters' far lower average intelligence.

Personally I'm enjoying the high-flown whining of people like Charles Krauthammer, who should be smashed in the face with a brick, and George Will, whose nuts should be stomped on by some 300-pound drag queen's stiletto heel.

I don't understand these threads. In what way is the office of President involved at all with the distribution of food stamps? Has the eligibility for food stamps changed at all over the last four years from pre-2009 criteria? You all live in some bizarre welfare fantasy world.

what is funny is all the libs think if you didn't vote for Obama you voted for Romney, they are so tied into the 2 party sham system it is hillarious. Zombies.

What is funny is that you think only libs voted for Obama.

I will not rest until most of the populace is dependent on the government for their basic needs. To fund this, I will print money with reckless abandon and tax the hell out of evil rich people.

but wait, I thought Romney was a member of the "radical right"??

Oh!

THAT's why Romney failed to win a single one of the 8 toss-up states and lost the electoral vote 332-206.

The food stamp report was late.

If only the good people of Florida, Ohio , Virginia and Iowa had this information a week ago. They ALL would have thrown their support to Romney to give him the election.

Maybe Romney would have won California and New York, too.

You do realize that in several of those states Obama won by less than 1% of the vote. Of course you don't, you are too busy licking Obamas anus.

Keywords...."Obama won".

you lost for good reason on the issues, so buck up and do what's best for the country, whether that is following up on your promise to leave it or urging your legislators to support that minor tax increase on the wealthy along with a jobs bill and immigration reform. the people have spoken clearly and even republicans don't need a weatherman any more to know which way the wind is blowing.

The eligibility has not changed during Obama's presidency but the payout has. The 2009 stimulus bill raised maximum payout by 14%.

I don't think the OP's intention was to criticize Obama for making food stamps easier to obtain. I think the point was to highlight that the economy is not recovering very well. A record increase in Food Stamps shows that people are still having significant trouble finding adequate employment.

key words 'less than 1%' which means if the food stamp report came out it might have changed the election, but you are too busy tonguing a Kenyan's ashole to figure it out. Continue on hopefully it will take a dump into your mouth soon.

So food stamps are not bad when they help people in need. I see people who abuse the system like getting food stamps and social security all their life because "I learn slow." So they drink and smoke all day and don't have a care i'n the would but to reproduce.

I tried to get food stamps but was turned down because I have $2000 in a bank.

People are approved with new cars, houses and lots of possessions, but they turn people down who have $2000 in a bank.

So take the $2000 out of the bank, buy a car, and apply again.

Then sell the car.

You gotta learn how to work the rules in your favor.

"if", "might have", "hopefully"..... Having a hard time dealing with reality, my friend? Is your anus fetish also a fantasy of yours, or is that reality for you?

the bigger question wrote:

If you have 2 k in the bank you certainly shouldn't be getting food stamps. Neither should people with home equity though.

If food stamps are really intended to be temporary assistance, I can understand basing the requirements on liquid assets rather than all assets. If I'm out of work for a month, do you really expect me to sell my house to buy food?

A minor point of fact, Florida was the only state won by less than 1%. All others were 2% or greater. You'd have to go to Colorado at 4.8% to swing the electoral college in Romney's favor.

Obama won by far less than he did last time. So, yes, despite an overwheming dependence on the lower class, it is clear which way the wind is blowing.
