The reall objective of Krew Obama. Now they can say, in 2012, "We killed your jobs, but we were johnny on the spot with the food stamps. See how much better we did?"
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Enrollment in the major U.S. antihunger program, food stamps, grew by 1.2 million people in two months and stands at a record 33.8 million people, the government said on Wednesday.
Food stamps helped one in nine Americans buy groceries during April, according to Agriculture Department figures. The average benefit of $133.28 per person was up $40 due to a short-term increase under the economic stimulus package.
