The food stamp program, part of the Department of Agriculture, is pleased that it is distributing the greatest amount of food stamps ever.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problems whatsoever helping those who're having a run of bad luck or are physically disabled and therefore having problems making ends meet...but are, nonetheless, actively pursuing a job. Its the leeches that I despise, the folks with 12 kids who're using foodstamps to buy beer and steaks while talking on their top-end iPhone (as are all 12 kids).
