Record Number of Food Stamp Recipients Projected

[blackaristo]

Two years gave passed since this video was first posted. Now, it is vastly worse. We have 41 million people on food stamps. Here in New York, it is 1.8 million, with the spike coming from the middle and upper middle class who lost their jobs and are on the verge of losing their houses. We are in a depression that is getting worse. I am seeing people who worked like mules all their lives, now in need and using food stamps. I think every case is different. This is a very different America. Sad.

Prices are going to continue to rise as all of the new trillions of dollars from the gov't and the fed filter down through the economy.

You think it's bad now? Just wait until hyperinflation takes hold.

Grocery stores should make (in big letters) FOOD STAMP AISLE and

FOOD STAMP CASHIER

this would embarass them and make them want to get off food stamps

[yoganandarita]

LOL, but that only makes everyone there unconformable. Not fair to those who really do need it.

You dumb ass, I have worked my whole life paying taxes ..My back has gone out on me , for doing hard labor for over 20 years...........

.Now i lost my self owned bussniess and need to be on food stamp.....

I just hope to God one day if you need food stamps you will ask God to forgive you for being so judgemental.............

God bless .........

[locobeaver]

They should at least do a drug test for food stamp recipients....How many food stamp takers would be booted off the system then?...Is that the new Christian American....call someone a dumbass and then say "God bless"...I was judgemental but so were you...maybe you should ask for forgiveness too...wrong is wrong no matter what kind of wrong it is...your only helping the government become more socialistic...

What about the little old lady or old man who worked there whole life , and lost all of there retirement money due to the stock market .

The dollar has crashed. We need to stop printing extra money, borrowing extra money, and wasting it on invading nations. It lowers the worth of the dollar.

You know what I love about Amy Goodman, is she actually asks the important questions, getting the real news out, not just brushing over it and focusing on something mundane and safe about the issue like other so called news stations. Thank goodness for democracy now!
