    The number of Americans using the government's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) -- more commonly referred to as food stamps -- shot to an all-time high of 45.8 million in May, the USDA reported. That's up 12% from a year ago, and 34% higher than two years ago.

    The program provides monthly benefits to low-income individuals and families, which they can use at stores that accept SNAP benefits.
    To qualify for food stamps, an individual's income can't exceed $1,174 a month or $14,088 a year -- an amount that is 130% of the national poverty level.
    The average food stamp benefit was $133.80 per person and $283.65 per household in May.
    The highest concentration of food stamp users were in California, Florida, New York and Texas -- where more than 3 million residents in each state received food stamps in May.

Frebbies as far as the eye can see. A 50% increase in food stamp recepients since obama took over and we now see articles about a recovery! And how well obama did first term!
    Feed me, feed me, feed me master! I' vote fer ya...
    WHATS GONNA HAPPEN WHEN WE HAVE THAT DOLLAR CRASH?
