More from the same report:

The number of Americans receiving food stamps rose to a record 41.8 million in July and approximately one in eight Americans participate in the program, according to the USDA, with the average household subsidy receiving $294 a month.


$294 a month, basically the value of the crumbs beneath the rich man's table.

And $60 billion is what fraction of a trillion dollar budget?

I'm all for encouraging people to take care of themselves, but it's hard to complain about food stamps without sounding like a selfish bastard.
