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

Well-stated, Ezekiel. Socialism-in-action is the catalyst for individual inaction. What out for members of the FSA (Free Shit Army). They (and the socialists in government) have their sights (parasites) on your (and mine) stuff.

Bartenders won’t serve an obviously drunken person alcohol, so why should 400#ers get served food at a grocery store?

The soulless elites support the welfare state (at everybosy else's expense) because IMO it absolves them of any responsibility to personally help people in real need. Give that job to the government! They can wash their hands and "care" at the same time.

Note: this is 2010 data. This is all that Slate can offer because that’s where detailed info stops, but look here to look at the nationwide growth in 2011, 2012, and 2013.

From FY 2010 to FY 2013, the rolls (pun intended!) have grown by another 18.2%!!

32k (8%) and they are all shopping at my HEB, in front of me at the register every time.
