Dear Patriot, Here's a mystery for you.
The food-stamp program, one of the government's largest entitlements, was created and designed to expand when the economy sagged and to shrink when the economy recovered.
why is the already bloated $80-billion-a-year, food-stamp program continuing to swell? The Wall Street Journal reports that "enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) ... has soared 70 percent since 2008 to a record 47.8 million as of December 2012." A quick calculation reveals that one in every 6.5 Americans are currently receiving food stamps. And that number continues surging by more than 13,000 citizens each day. So why isn't the program shrinking? |
