The number of Americans on food stamps climbed to an all-time peak last year, according to data released by the Department of Agriculture.
An average of 46.6 million people received the benefits each month last year, with the average number of households that received them totaling 22.3 million. In 2007, just 26.3 million people received food stamps.
Among states, Texas topped the chart with an average of 4.04 million food stamp recipients per month. California came in second with 3.96 million, and Florida was third with 3.35 million.

EVERY economist will tell you --- we are on a sinking ship. We have allowed our "leaders" put us on an unavoidable course for third world junk bond status AND have convinced 50% of the people that it's going to be okay. It AIN'T gonna be "okay". No way it can be "okay", unless 2 + 2 starts equaling 500 billion.
Obama, the food stamp President!
Imagine the social unrest when the EBT card stops working. And that day is surely coming on the path the government is on.
Food Stamps will earn you faithful lazy Democratic voters.
