Let Them Eat.. Cluster Bombs!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Some 27.88 million Americans received food stamps in March, up 1.5 million from a year earlier, according to the latest U.S. government figures which antihunger experts pointed to on Monday as a sign of economic distress.

"What's happening is we have a large number of families in poverty who are losing income while their expenses are going up," said Stacy Dean of the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, a think tank.

Food stamps help poor people buy food. Benefits average $1 per meal.

Is this the government entitlement that Doug wants to do away with.. because those poor people are irresponsible, and lack personal initiative? I'm not sure.. he never says which programs should get the axe.

I suppose their kids should go hungry as well.

Estimated food stamp budget for FY09, 40.3 billion. The war in Iraq costs 341 million a day... 526 billion to this point.

Food..

Bombs...

I report.. you decide.
