I saw this data in the local paper - disappointing would be an understatement. Nearly 1 in 4 children eat courtesy of foodstamps in the US. "The number of food stamp recipients has climbed by about 10 million over the past two years, resulting in a program that now feeds 1 in 8 Americans and nearly 1 in 4 children."

More time on their hands, less to lose, and more to gain. Unfortunately, genetics being what they are, it's recipe for disaster in the long term. |

Like I said, when you subsidize something you get more of it. Want more poor? Give them something for nothing. Just like we do! |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

My county is only at 4%, but we have increased the total number by 109% since 2007. |
