101 million get Federal food aid - Remember to thank the GOP & Democrats

 

Sucking on the Public Teat
101 Million Americans Get Food Aid from the Feds
Both Democrats and Republicans eagerly join together in a Marxist Re-Distribution of
the Wealth orgy while on a quest to buy votes with other people's money.


Bi-Partisanship Definition  -  When you are fucked by both parties in order to grow and fund the Marxist welfare state. 

That money does not spend itself folks.  Both parties cast their votes to grow Socialism.

Thanks to the votes of both Democrats and Republicans the number of Americans receiving subsidized food assistance from the federal government has risen to 101 million, representing roughly a third of the U.S. population.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that a total of 101,000,000 people currently participate in at least one of the 15 food programs offered by the agency, at a cost of $114 billion in fiscal year 2012.


That means the number of Americans receiving food assistance has surpassed the number of private sector workers in the U.S. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there were 97,180,000 full-time private sector workers in 2012 reports CNS News.

The population of the U.S. is 316.2 million people, meaning nearly a third of Americans receive food aid from the government.

Of the 101 million receiving food benefits, a record 47 million Americans participated in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps.

The National School Lunch program provides 32 million students with low-cost or no-cost meals daily; 10.6 million participate in the School Breakfast Program; and 8.9 million receive benefits from the Woman, Infants and Children (WIC) program each month, the latter designed for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, as well as children younger than 5 years old.

In addition, 3.3 million children at day care centers receive snacks through the Child and Adult Care Food Program.

There’s also a Special Milk Program for schools and a Summer Food Service Program, through which 2.3 million children received aid in July 2011 during summer vacation.


Socialism is Bipartisan
Under a GOP Congress and a GOP President (2001-2004) there was a massive increase in food stamp spending.  Both parties were happy to expand the Marxist entitlement society with other people's money while rewarding businesses so they too can have their own teat to suckle on.
.
From 2011 to 2012 there was a huge increase in Wealth Re-Distribution.  That reflects a "Liberal" Democrat Senate and "Conservative" GOP House working together to expand the cradle-to-grave welfare state.
.
Not one dime can be spent without the approval of the Republican controlled House of Representatives.  So next time you hear a "Conservative" Republican gives a speech about the wonders of smaller government, remember he is a fucking liar.  The last time the GOP cut the Federal budget was back in the 1920s.

Corporations and small businesses love
sucking on the public teat.
