More Americans Will Use Food Stamps For Thanksgiving This Year Than Ever Before

If this is what Obama meant with his campaign slogan of "forward", then the country would be better served if we went in reverse. I keep hearing from the utterly clueless Obamatrons that the economy is getting better, yet there is now evidence to be found  of that. Actually, things are getting worse. Here is one sad indicator that this thanksgiving will not be like the traditional thanksgiving that tens of millions of families have enjoyed in years past. For the first ever, "more Americans Will Use Food Stamp to buy food for Thanksgiving. Welfare spending has become the country's biggest expenditure even surpassing military spending. This wasn't really a surprise. When the jobs market isn't even creating enough jobs each month to keep up with the growth in the population, something had give and, this is the sad result. The supporters of dear leader get made when people on the right refer to him as "the food stamp president". All they are doing is accurately echoing the truth. It's too bad he can't be called the jobs creation president. Creating jobs in the federal bureaucracy to deal with the ever expanding welfare roll doesn't count.

CB;" For the first ever, "more Americans Will Use Food Stamp to buy food for Thanksgiving".

For the first time ever more Americans will use Food Stamps, as compared to what? Are you trying to say that more Americans will use Food Stamps than cash?

The entire argument over Food Stamps is politically motivated. After the old talking point of, "More people were put on Food Stamps..." was shown to be flawed and false, the new talking point appears to be "More Americans than ever..."

If the congress had passed President Obama's "Jobs Bill" perhaps your essay wouldn't have needed to be written?

Happy Thanksgiving; I hope it was thankfully fulfilling for you.

Anyway, Even in this bad economy, there are those who are employed and hardly taking home any pay. Most of it goes to bills to keep a roof over their head, or in any case, to food.

But what if you do not have enough left over to buy the food you need? I have seen people who are employed but are not making enough. Some go to food banks as for necessities, while others apply for food stamps. Those who applied for food stamp are either denied or are given less depending on what their wages are.

I knew a family years whom ago who were struggling financially. They applied for food stamps and were denied because the patriarch a couple of bucks too much. I knew another family who too were struggling much worse, but according to their income they were given $10 of food stamps. What are they going to do with $10?

As for the last resort, many used credit cards in order to get buy, which eventually will lead to more hardship.

Actually it's reality based not politically motivated allen. Welfare spending is now the number one expenditure of the federal government. When Romney said that he couldn't compete with Santa Clause, the left went into a meltdown. The truth is a bitch beyond bitch, and it hurts like hell. From Obama dollars, Obama phones, EBT cards etc, it's the new give me society.

p allen ""More people were put on Food Stamps..." was shown to be flawed and false, the new talking point appears to be "More Americans than ever.."

So who proved it false allen,um? Here's the USDA's own government website shows the increase year over year. Now what do you have to say allen?
