Nearly 15% of the U.S. population relied on food stamps in August, as the number of recipients hit 45.8 million.

Imagine that...all this progressive liberalism, activist government for decades, poverty initiatives and still, we have more and more people on food stamps.

If the gulf between the haves and the have-nots continues to widen, as it has since the 1980s? Yes.

It's a shame the new food stamp recipients can't afford Internet access any longer. You might be surprised to learn who they are: Middle class and working class families, people who have always been self-sustaining, wiped out...
Why is it the tea party folks think we can shrink our way out of trouble when in every post-war period, depression, bank scare, recession and stock market panic, we've grown our way out? Every time!
Please give me one example of when we have shrunk our way out of a bad economy. I can't find one.
