Just sad when so many people in the greatest country on Earth need help just to eat. It makes me livid when I hear of food stamp abuses. Also strange with so many people hungry we are paying farmers to NOT grow food. We are using food as alternative fuel. That's stuff you do with extra. This many people hungry in the US obviously we don't have extra.

Let's give Pakistan another billion dollars in food aid so we can call them "friend". With friends like them.....

Interesting demographics...

Lounge what exactly does food stamp use have to do with political parties. I'd say it's tied to population density, unemployment rates and economic status per region/area.

WTF does Right Wing/Left Wing have to do with any of this?

One dumb way to look at that data is that it seems on average the colder it is, the less food stamps you need.

I would think that a more interesting thing for the small government people to look at would be federal spending by state per person.

Somewhat been following the GOP Race... I must have missed or tuned out most the discussion on right/left wing food stamp usage. Sorry...

In my experience... who's taking handouts is tied more to who's got jobs and who doesn't. Excluding the constant percentage of societal leeches... While any politician can delude him/her self as to having an impact on this demographic... I say bullshit. The only tangible effect a senator, congressman or president can have on food stamp usage is to pass/approve a bill that changes eligibility criteria. Many can talk... but few are brave enough to even draft a bill...

Let's see....Would you rather have Newt GinGrinch singing "Moon River"? Or perhaps Mitt Singing like Daffy Duck as he hemms and haws at every question and stammers his way through a question, "Yerrr Despicable......Iran".

So nice to have a younger president, if even for a time.

If you want your kids to grow up on food stamps vote for Obama, if you want your kids to grow up wealthy vote for me. REALLY??!!

Fact of the matter that some don't care about is that hundreds of thousands of jobs were being lost months before Obama even stepped foot in the white house!!!! FACT!!

In the past yrs the economy is slowly making a recovery, in which President Obama said it would take time not happen overnight!!

Kinda hard to get thing accomplished when you have everyone against you!!!
Don't forget McConnels statement...Our number one goal is to make sure he fails, saying thins on camera??!!

And people call President Obama non American etc??!! PATHETIC!!!!

Here's Newt's, “And so I’m prepared if the NAACP invites me, I’ll go to their convention and talk about why the African American community should demand paychecks and not be satisfied with food stamps,” Gingrich said earlier today in Plymouth, N.H.

I'd bet if Obama was white and did the exact same thing as he's done, there would be zero talk of Socialism or the other 'isms these idiots spew, without actually knowing what it means......these guys would be saying the same thing we're saying about Newt, too!

Anybody who thinks that people on food stamps have it easy should really try living on them for a while.

Three healthy meals a day? Don't even think about it.

Two healthy meals a day? Maybe if you're lucky enough to find good deals on stuff with some actual nutritional value at the Grocery Outlet, or whatever.

More than likely though, your average food stamp recipient is getting by on Top Ramen, store brand mac n cheese, or some other processed white carbs with little or no actual nutritional value. And only even two meals a day at that.

As far as I know, food stamp vouchers (or whatever the technical term is) have not kept up with food prices, which have damn near tripled since Chimpy's illegal wars sent oil prices through the roof, with food prices quickly following. The speculation frauds from the Wall Street Gold Mansacks types haven't helped either.

The Serial adulterer and the Google Boy are half right when they say that people (black or otherwise) would rather have jobs than food stamps. Obviously there's some truth to that, since joblessness is the problem. (and one that none of the Repukes have any real intention of solving.) But the problem with food stamps is that they should also provide realistic nutrition for those forced to use them on a (hopefully) temporary basis.

Food stamps are like feeding a wild animal. Once it can get it's food easy it loses it's will to hunt and fend for itself. The next thing you know it's living in a cage dependent on someone else. As long as you are the fuck using someone else's money to cage the animals so they vote for you I guess it's a good thing.

I don't have any idea why this doesn't piss off liberals who are always barking about conservation (which is ok) and carbon footprint nonsense. Gore is no different than a bloodsucker like Benny Hinn, flying from church to church in a private jet while exorting pensioners who eat cat food to give until it hurts, Gore's just preaching a different religion. When it is finally proven to be a hoax will they indict Gore and put him in a cell next to Madoff? They are the same type of criminal in my eyes.
