But one term I didn’t hear, maybe I missed it: “The Constitution.” Then again, wasn’t he suggesting that, in brave times like these, we need to put aside those old rules.

Bush the number of recipients rose by nearly 14.7 million. Nothing before comes close to that.<br /><br />And under Obama, the increase so far has been 14.2 million. To be exact, the program has so far grown by 444,574 fewer recipients during Obama’s time in office than during Bush’s."<br /><br />http://www.factcheck.org/2012/01/newts-faulty-food-stamp-claim/<br /><br /><br />Stevey, Stevey, just when I thought there was hope for you with some positive reinforcement here you go pulling out your crutches and flinging racial slurs while mindlessly qouting the lamestream media, who know nothing but defending the messiah and not reporting real news or problems. I will set the record straight below and dont worry as a good christian man I forgive you and will keep up the hope that someday too even you can understand simple math. 8 years vs 3 so far.<br /><br />Participation in the food stamp program, technically known as SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), has increased by 44% from 32.0 million in January 2009 to 46.2 million in October 2011, the last month for which data is available. During that time, the average monthly benefit per person has increased by over 18% from $114 to $135, even though the costs of food eaten at home have increased by only 5%, and even though gross benefits before deductions for income and assets three years ago roughly approximated what was needed to maintain adequate nutrition on a “thrifty meal plan.” Monthly program costs have increased by over 70%, from $3.6 billion to $6.2 billion.<br /><br />The food stamp rolls indeed increased by 14.7 million under George W. Bush compared to “only” 14.2 million under Obama (so far). But Bush’s figure works out to an average of about 153,000 additional recipients per month during his eight years in office. Monthly additions during Barack Obama’s first 33 reported months have averaged 431,000. During the economy’s relatively strong years of 2005 through 2007, the food stamp rolls stayed relatively steady at 25-27 million. In the past fiscal year under Obama, while the economy added over 1.6 million seasonally adjusted jobs, the food stamp rolls still grew by over 3.3 million<br /><br />More broadly, food giveaways under all guises have exploded under Obama. School food program costs have increased by 22% during the past three fiscal years, even though it should be obvious that the government is already paying many kids’ parents to feed them through food stamps. Women, infants, and children? Up 16%. Other food distribution programs? Up 52%. With all of this spending, what’s the main nutrition-related problem facing the country, even more among those in poverty than among the general population? You guessed it: obesity.<br /><br />http://www.fns.usda.gov/pd/34SNAPmonthly.htm<br /><br />http://pjmedia.com/blog/barack-obama-is-the-food-stamp-president/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-19131712895945475382012-01-25T15:40:41.771-05:002012-01-25T15:40:41.771-05:00purple ewe-lover re: TALF:
