One in Eight Americans Now Receives Food Stamps

I don't think the argument reduces to how many people are taking advantage of the system vs. how many are being supported by it. I've heard from people who've been in situations where they could take a job and wind up losing more benefits than their new job would supply. These aren't marginalized people, so it wasn't a big deal, but there is a large group of people where that difference means a great deal. It indicates to me that the process is broken.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ditto, received federal aid for college with 5 member two income at more than lurker's. So I support RR's suggestion.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
