Food Stamp Nation

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
A record twelve percent are on food stamps, where the stigma is almost totally removed, largely by the use of a credit card-looking thing.

I agree with Pat Buchanan with much--with notable exception such as protectionism and his anti-Israel stance (I love Israel, the best nation after ours)--and here he is right on:

The cost to taxpayers of the U.S. food stamp program hit $56 billion. The number of recipients and cost of the program exploded again last year.  Among the reasons is family disintegration. Forty percent of all children in America are now born out of wedlock. Among Hispanics, it is 51 percent. Among African-Americans, it is 71 percent.

Food stamps are feeding children abandoned by their own fathers. Taxpayers are taking up the slack for America's deadbeat dads.

Have food stamps made America a healthier nation?
