Record Number of Americans Apply for Food Stamps
According to a Department of Agriculture report, the number of Americans receiving food stamps has reached an all-time record. Over 42 million Americans, courtesy of government assistance, now get just enough to eat. Zero Hedge, the financial blog where I originally saw the notice of the Agriculture Department report, observed that the 42-million-plus roster represented a 17% increase from the same period in 2009. If you're keeping score, that's definitely not good news for the home team.
