Food Stamps Hit Record, Again


I'm sure glad that we turned the corner on the recession! The Los Angeles Times reports that about 39.4 million Americans, the most ever, received food stamps in January, the government said.
The number of recipients was up 22% from a year earlier, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The total of Americans getting the subsidy has hit records for 14 consecutive months.
Like I say, I'm sure glad that we "turned the corner" on this recession thing.
