For those Americans that are either too lazy/cannot read, here are the highlights:
"Altogether, there are now almost 46 million people in the United States on food stamps, roughly 15 percent of the population. That's an increase of 74 percent since 2007, just before the financial crisis and a deep recession led to mass job losses."
"In some parts of the country, shoppers using food stamps have almost become the norm. In May 2011, a third of all people in Alabama were on food stamps -- though part of that was because of emergency assistance after communities were destroyed by a series of destructive tornadoes. Washington D.C., Mississippi, New Mexico, Oregon and Tennessee all had about a fifth of their population on food stamps that month."
How is it that a nation that proclaims itself as the greatest in the world has such a significant percentage of its population living on foodstamps? What has happened to the once great and mighty USA?
Serious question to Americans:
What would you rather have:
- Cheap goods at Walmart at the expense of shipping off the majority of your manufacturing jobs to Asia
- Slightly more expensive goods with a lower unemployment rate, an actual middle class and a boosted national morale
Hey man, don't be hating on the democratic parties voting block. Only problem is they are buying the votes with the working mans tax dollar! bullshitt if you ask me!
No decent paying manufacturing/labor jobs for the uneducated. Shipping jobs across seas so share holders coud see a profit was going to come back and bite us in the ass sooner or later. Welcome to the new world order.
