I wonder if there is a place that we can track food stamp use? To me it seems like it is a better indicator of pain in the USA than how many are collecting unemployment.

Edit: This goes through April 2009 (for California only, but includes both the state and federal programs):

cdss.ca.gov

And more (Fed program only, but nationwide):

cdss.ca.gov

So the Fed Gov spent about 4.6 billon in May to feed people and that number is growing every month (probably parabolic).
