Somehow, I don’t think that I’d sink that low - at least hope not.

Do the math:
46 million times $5.00 per day(my guess) = an annual cost of $84B dollars. Pretty cheap way for the demonrats to buy votes.

I want an EBT card. Is it hard to get one? What’s the cutoff for a family of 5? Gimme my Obama money!

How many of the 46,000,000 are children for whom their parents are receiving food stamps AND we are paying through federal programs to feed them at least breakfast and lunch, if not 3 meals a day, at their schools? How much is that costing us to feed the children 31 meals per week (each) or more?

Ask a Democrat.
This is considered to be a huge success, if they are honest.

Cheap for them, but the dems are buying votes with money earned by those of us who still work.
And remember, the 5% unemployment under Bush was so HORRIBLE that the MSM's had to mention it every day.
