I was just reading where 1 in 10 Americans is now on food stamps. That’s absolutely awful. That to me shows how much trouble our economy is in. It’s not like the tremendous job losses wasn’t enough to tell me that but you just don’t seem to realize the impact of all of those job losses until they start talking about all of the foreclosures and now the use of food stamps. The article I read said that the average amount of food stamps benefit was $112.82 per person in January. That’s monthly not weekly either. That’s barely enough to feed a person for a month. I sure hope things turn around soon for all of those people and am so thankful I still have my job for now anyway.
