Guess What Group is Getting Food Stamps at an Alarming Rate

Guess What Group is Getting Food Stamps at an Alarming Rate:
"While overall food stamp use grew by 53 percent between Fiscal Year 2007 and Fiscal Year 2010 (from about 26 million to nearly 40 million), it more than doubled among able-bodied adults without dependents during this time–from 1.7 million to 3.9 million–an increase of  roughly 127 percent.

Food stamp spending today is roughly $80 billion, double what it was in Fiscal Year 2008."
