Those would be the unemployed people in line in front of you with the train of heaping carts of food that look like the horn of plenty, while you’re holding your hand basket deciding what 10 items you can’t do without.

Invest in companies that make Yodels, soda, Funyuns, Twinkies, etc.

We're not keeping the poor alive with food stamps, we're keeping them fat.

This statistic proves nothing about US poverty or hunger.

Rather, it shows the basic economic principle that demand for free-stuff is always unlimited.

What’s this magic number all the time? Forty million Americans don’t have health insurance, forty million (or so) Americans on food stamps. What’s the next forty million ????

which is a point to where all of the grocery chains are now addicted to the program in order to stay in business and serve to reinforce the lobbying for it.

This is what poverty looked like during the Great Depression:

____________________________________________________________________________

This is what poverty looks like under Obama:

We are the only generation in the history of the world to have "obese poor people."

I am glad Moochelle has a chance to "git her groove on" while lecturing everyone about obesity, all the while she and the Community Organizer hand out 'SNAP' cards like crack cocaine.
