(Reuters) - Nearly 40 million Americans received food stamps -- the latest in an ever-higher string of record enrollment that dates from December 2008 and the U.S. recession, according to a government update.



Food stamps are the primary federal anti-hunger program, helping poor people buy food. Enrollment is highest during times of economic distress. The jobless rate was 9.9 percent, the government said on Friday.

By my estimates, that represents about 15 million (or slightly less) households.  That's pathetic, but not surprising. 

I'm working on a theory to use socialism against the socialist.  I theorize that by federal law every household will receive $150.00 per 40 day period.  No more, no less, no increases.  If any household want to eat better than that, they must work for it.

It's still a work in progress.
