Since Obama Won, Every Month More and More People Need Foodstamps to Survive Change

From Reuters, via Sweetness & Light, Food-stamp tally nears 40 million, sets record:

Nearly 40 million Americans received food stamps — the latest in an ever-higher string of record enrollment that dates from December 2008 and the U.S. recession, according to a government update. Food stamps are the primary federal anti-hunger program, helping poor people buy food. Enrollment is highest during times of economic distress. The jobless rate was 9.9 percent, the government said on Friday.

The Agriculture Department said 39.68 million people, or 1 in 8 Americans, were enrolled for food stamps during February, an increase of 260,000 from January. USDA updated its figures on Wednesday.

Enrollment has set a record each month since reaching 31.78 million in December 2008. USDA estimates enrollment will average 40.5 million people this fiscal year, which ends Sept 30, at a cost of up to $59 billion. For fiscal 2011, average enrollment is forecast for 43.3 million people.

In November of 2008 we voted for change... and the change was increasing numbers of people who have been forced to humiliate themselves and accept the forced charity of other taxpayers just to eat. Read that article again- every single month that Democrat President Obama is in office more and more people need foodstamps- the records started when he was elected, and every month that he is in office, more and more and more and more people are forced to go into a government office and admit that on their own they just can't make it and that they want to take charity from others who are forced to provide it.

The word to describe this is disgusting. Wrong. Unjust. Immoral. Sad. Obama. Democrat.
