Food Stamp Usage: Still, Still Rising

Posted by Michael • August 8, 2011

Courtesy of Yahoo, I’m reading that food stamps are now used by 1 in every 7 of us Americans. That’s up from July of last year, when 1 in 8 Americans were on the program.

Looks like the effects of Recovery Summer™ have long since worn off. Pity, that.
