The vast majority of federal spending in the Senate farm bill, which is estimated to cost over $100 billion annually, is going toward food stamps, representing a 100 percent increase since President Barack Obama took office, according to Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions.

“The legislation will spend $82 billion on food stamps next year, $82 billion and an estimated $770 billion over the next ten years. So, to put these figures in perspective, and they’re so large it’s difficult to comprehend, we will spend next year $40 billion on the federal highway program,” said Sessions, the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee.

“Food stamp spending has more than quadrupled, four times, it’s increased fourfold since the year 2001. It has increased 100 percent since President Obama took office,” he said.

I have never seen anyone using an EBT card with coupons to try and stretch them out. Of course porterhouse steaks don't usually have coupons.

Have to keep the masses dependent on government in order for socialism to work. The less people working the less complaining about paying the bills.

Unemployment has dropped but the President is not on television bragging about it. He would have to admit his sequester scare tactics were wrong.

You are right, the more people that get free shit, the less people that think we need real change.

I have Rob. Probably newly unemployed or recently fallen on hard times.  They also don't ever have to tell the cashier to unscan, if that is the term, when their EBT card don't have enough money on it.

I can spot the long term welfare folks in the aisle now. They don't look at the price, buy brand name stuff, go to the meat dept and grab the best meat. Get to the cashier, have multiple EBT cards, got their beer and cigs and junk food separate and pay for that in cash.

Pisses me off.

There is a difference between the  career welfare recipients and those that are truly using it as a safety net to help them bounce back on their feet.

Yeah the official number has dropped, but there is not one less person on public assistance than there was last month, in fact I would wager more people have been added to the disability rolls, the food stamp rolls, and every other government program that exists.

Besides the EU numbers is just another shell game that the government plays with us. The reality is, 8% unemployment is the new norm and until we get our collective head out of our collective asses and quit sending these assholes to represent us it isn't going to change.

Disability claims have gone through the roof and the gov't does not even have the resources to investigate the claims of fraud.

Is there something in the air?  Is it in the water?  Or is it simply an infectious nanny-state syndrome that has spread like an epidemic across the United States since Obama took office? Maybe this explains why the number of American workers collecting federal disability benefits to increase by 975 per day under our current president?

That’s right, the Social Security Administration reports the number of disabled workers collecting benefits hit an all-time high this month. A startling 8,803,335 disabled people now benefit from other tax-payers’ dollars, up from the previous record of 8,786,049 set in September.
