15 percent of the U.S. population is receiving food-stamp benefits.
from David Ruccio
In 2007, at the start of the Second Great Depression, 26.3 million Americans—8.7 percent of the population—were on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Today, that number has risen to 47.6 million, which means that 15 percent of the U.S. population is receiving food-stamp benefits.

“What’s that you say about a recovery?”
That getting a job now only helps to pay the debt and interest owed to the PFPBanks, while leaving nothing left over for food. Has anyone asked, Why and how during the time of plenty(1976-2012), the top 10% gained all of the increase in income while the other 90% had a decrease.
