A Grim Record: One In Seven Americans Is On Food Stamps

As of September of this year almost 13 million people will be living off of food stamps. This trend of citizens needing food stamps is not a new concept and has been occurring at these very high since the beginning of the decade. Unfortunately, this year the US has hit the all time high. The qualifications for food stamps, set by SNAP, haven’t changed much since the early 90’s. SNAP is seeing a lot of new families taking advantage of the government-sponsored program.
This is a true testament of what a dire situation the jobless are in. Hopefully within the next few years we will rise from this devastating economic status.
