In a sign of how troubling a economic time we are in, a record number of Americans are now recieving food stamps.
An excerpt:
“The number of Americans receiving federal aid through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps, soared to a record 40.8 million in May, according to government data released shortly before the Senate voted to cut billions from the food stamps budget.”
How important are programs like these? Should they continue? If so for how long? And lets all hope / pray that the need for such programs will fall in the near future.
