A record 20% of American households, one in five, were on food stamps in 2013, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The numbers also show there was a record number of individuals on food stamps in 2013 and that the cost of the program, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), was at an all-time high.
The USDA says that there were 23,052,388 households on food stamps in the average month of fiscal 2013, an increase of 722,675 from fiscal year 2012, when there were 22,329,713 households on food stamps in the average month.

its a "SNAP" to be slug and someone else (dumb a$$) will pay for it. It sounds like a good deal to me. I'd join but I'm one of those supporters ... in other words I work.
Did you know that 60% of the students in Wicomico County schools "qualify" for FARM (Free And Reduced Meals). That is a lot of freeloading.
Did you know even if all your kids are eating free at school it is not subtracted from the food stamps you get for them? Taxpayers get to pay twice to feed school age kids.
Guaranteed Obama voters. Look for the number to rise with Democrat party planning.
