Food stamp use hit record 40.8m in May - The Boston Globe (http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2010/08/05/food_stamp_use_hit_record_408m_in_may/)

Change we can believe in.

Unemployment numbers coming out tomorrow aren't looking any better either.....lost another 300 thousand jobs......No nation in the history of civilazation has ever taxed itself into prosperity.

The whole food stamp system is bullshit. My buddy was/is on food stamps, and last I talked to him, he initially got $250/month when he did NOT have a job. Then, he got a job, so they give him an ADDITION $100/month. Tell me if that makes sense.

Somebody fucked up. And the amount depends on the state you live in. And if he has a job, get off the stamps or they will charge you for fraud. Do they have kids? I know people who have gotten their allotment cut for getting $50 extra bucks. :wtf:

Cut 'n Splice is on a tear, eh? According to Cut 'n Splice it's Obama's fault. All of it! He did this to us. It's his stealth "pay-back-whitie" strategy! Whites unit!

Yeah and no nation with a first world economy has tax rates for the rich as low as ours... by a wide margin. In fact if Cut 'n Splice were to do any research into the "history of civilazation" [sic] he would discover that nations with progressive tax policies at rates much higher than ours are doing far better by just about any measure. Take any of the Scandinavian countries for example.
