As Republicans gnash their teeth over a series of states blocking the nutrition assistance cuts Republicans worked so hard to achieve, who exactly is benefiting from food stamps?
The annual report from the United States Department of Agriculture showed that about 45 percent of food stamp benefits went to children under 18, totaling about 20 million youngsters.
Nine percent of recipients were age 60 or older, and nearly 10 percent were disabled adults who were under 60, according to the analysis of food stamp usage for the fiscal year that ended in September 2012.
So, yes, more than 60 percent were people we don't expect to be in the workforce. At least, not if we retain some basic humanity. And a substantial percentage—about four in ten—live in a household in which someone is working. Because working poverty is very definitely a thing.
Speaker John Boehner is angry that states are "cheating" (following the law) to prevent food stamp cuts.
how many of their base are in this percentile and know it but still votes to starve their kids and elderly parents, after all they do receive the majority of food stamps and all that their politicians are trying feverishly to take away from them.
party of stupid does not only mean the politicians obviously.
