Data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows that 32 states have adopted rules making it easier to qualify for food stamps since 2007. In all, 38 states have loosened eligibility standards.

With more than 1 in 8 Americans now on food stamps, participation in the program has jumped about 70 percent from 26 million in May 2007, while the nation's unemployment rate rose from 4.3 percent to 9.2 percent through September of this year.

if Congress fails to reauthorize extended unemployment benefits by the end of November, it will spoil the holidays for 1.2 million people, according to the National Employment Law Project.

  • I would get free food but I didn't qualify... I lost my job and just had my wifes income. After spending weeks and weeks of doing their paperwork they determined that I did not qualify... I could not even get medical for my kids....

    Well, I have a plan... Ima go to Mexico, Give up my American citizenship and then walk back across the border and get everything for free!...

  • PEOPLE ARE BROKE AS HELL ANDY...! THE STATISTIC IS MOST LIKELY LOWER THAN REALITY...!!! THE RECESSION HAS ONLY BEGUN MY FRIEND...!!!

  • @commando602 You ain't black, that's why.

  • Interesting that 1.2 million where poised to lose unemployment benefits 1 year ago and NOW during an Election Year, Obama is claiming 1.2 million new jobs created.. Coincidence?

  • I'm on food stamps, because I'm disabled, can't walk and can't work a normal 8-5 job. I'd love to work and I have tried many programs to get me to be able to work- it just doesn't happen overnight. I don't see the shame in being on Foodstamps if you need it. I hate people that abuse it. I'm white by the way...not black.

  • Black people dont get married and make it look like they have no income, its how they do it.

  • This "1 in 8" statistic is simply more propaganda from the Obama administration.

  • People in the US have NO IDEA what being "poor" truly is.

  • America has the FATTEST "poor" people on earth. Obama WANTS more people on food stamps! It is part of his left-wing Socialist agenda and re-election strategy.

  • @dazjah00 "Your Mother"...hmm your more intelligent than I would have guessed. Anyway, since we are on the subject of family, I have this advice. Since you obviously will never have my money to pay back, I suggest that you start whoring out your mother, your kids and after a shower perhaps yourself as well. There are many perverts in this world with deep pockets (aside from the perves in your own family) that would be willing to partake. Good luck and say clean.

  • @shawnbrennan1 -YOUR MOTHER !!! GET OVER IT AND STOP LEAVING ME MESSAGES IT IS WHAT IT IS
