U.S. Food-Stamp Recipients Reached Record 33.8 Million in April
- stuffthatmatter 17y agoIsn't it that the head of the household collects the food stamp? That means it could be a multiple of 33.8Million is on the food stamp. Suppose average 4 to a household, that's 135 Million Americans on the food stamp, or 44% of the population is on food stamp. Is US that fracked already?
- philwelch 17y agoAverage 4 to a household is fairly high. A lot of single adults get food stamps. Also, food stamps are a variable, income-based benefit. If you make money you can still get a couple dozen dollars a month for food, and if you make less you can get a hundred or so. It's rare that you get a lot from it.
