Recovery? What fucking recovery?

New York Times, dateline 2009/11/29:

With food stamp use at record highs and climbing every month, a program once scorned as a failed welfare scheme now helps feed one in eight Americans and one in four children.


This is for the whole of the USA.

One in eight Americans are on foodstamps.
One in four American children are on foodstamps.

Fuel costs are edging back up.


Food stamp usage is soaring.


15.7 million unemployed Americans and 8 million employed illegals.
