Oh, it is. There’s a clear link. Apply for SNAP (or continuance), and you get Democrat voter reg forms.

It’s in the light of day, just as the link between Tea Party and getting rectal exams by the IRS.

Up 300-400% around here due to huge influx of illegals.

You can just as easy see all the nifty food-stamp population standing in the cash register line at any Wal-mart.

15% in Maricopa County. If I am reading this right this has gone up 320% since the year 2000.

Fulton County, GA - 19%

This means that one out of every five people I encounter in the grocery store are competing over the same groceries with MY MONEY. Remove these people from the consumer pool, and watch the price of groceries fall back to where they were before Obama took office. Heck, I might actually be able to afford meat again.

Sioux County, ND - 47%

Surrounded by an oil boom, 47% of those living on a government plantation (all in the name of 'helping' Native Americans) receive food stamps.

6% here, too. The “proportion” has grown much more since 2000, though.

It was a govt. lie that the program was designed for those who suddenly fell on hard times and circumstances beyond their control. After all, those are very the people who - when genuinely afflicted by some random, devastating poverty-inducing crisis - are most likely to be lifted up by their families, neighbors, friends, churches, coworkers, and even complete strangers in their own communities.

The government was doing what it does best. Replicate. It created a program to perpetuate government via dependency and votes. SOP.

My county (Oakland) in southeastern lower Michigan, includes the city of Pontiac. It says the county is about 10%. That seems very high. I’ll ask my good friend who is a cashier at the local Kroger next time I see her for her estimate of the percentage at that location.

Nah, I ain’t going to their website.

Good choice, GeronL. I was very hesitant. 99% of the time I don't patronize anything left, including co-workers. Life is great when you cut them out of it. They can all ESAD as far as I'm concerned.
