toldailytopic: More Americans are on food stamps than ever before, why do you suppose

[rexlunae]

One factor might be the Obama administration removing the work requirement for food stamps.

Except that he hasn't done that.

toldailytopic: More Americans are on food stamps than ever before, why do you suppose that is?

I think it's an governmental economic strategy.

When gas prices skyrocketed the cost for all goods and services went up across the board.
the unemployment rate also skyrocketed.

this meant more and more expensive commodities on the shelves and less people with money to buy them.

if people don't buy the products (in this case prepared foods) then companies close and the situation gets worse.

They are using the governments vast wealth leverage to offset a failed economy.
They are hoping they can keep it going long enough for it to recover....but it's like putting a band-aid on a bleeding ulcer.

keep shinin

I blame the laborers because they knew that crap was going on and still worked there... they knew the 8% wage cut was coming a long time ago and did nothing proactively about it.

:AMR:

If they knew what was going on upstairs from the production floor what action should the laborers have taken?

I agree...please expound H.S. Tell us what they should have done. lain:

Start their own company!
This is America!
You can be whoever you want.
