43 Million on Food Stamps.

Probably another 15 Million that qualify but are too embarrassed to seek the help.

Free lunch program covers about 60% of the students at my wife's school.

And if you are on a teacher assistant salary supporting 1 kid you very well might qualify for Food Stamps as well.

What an economy!

F'n Banksters.

More on Food Stamps.

Family of Four.

Household Income needs to be less than $2400 a month.
Less than $2,000 in the bank/assets.

And that stands at 14% of the population?!?
