Half of US Children will Be on Food Stamps

CHICAGO (AP) -- Nearly half of all U.S. children and 90 percent of black youngsters will be on food stamps at some point during childhood, and fallout from the current recession could push those numbers even higher, researchers say.

The estimate comes from an analysis of 30 years of national data, and it bolsters other recent evidence on the pervasiveness of youngsters at economic risk. It suggests that almost everyone knows a family who has received food stamps, or will in the future, said lead author Mark Rank, a sociologist at Washington University in St. Louis.

"Your neighbor may be using some of these programs but it's not the kind of thing people want to talk about," Rank said

  1. With liberals, over the decades & their agenda, they have destroyed the family structure so we now have just women having babies with no economical support or shame of having one baby after another.

    The foundation of any civilization is the family & it's gone.....thank you liberals for destroying our country.

    Finally....someone did write a great book that's just out about what is in store for us. It's a small town in America that finally stands up to federal tyranny (those that destroyed our families & now have up in a depression) & end up starting the 2nd American Revolution. These Americans are the true heroes just like the original colonist.

    It's a great read if you want to know what all of us can do should the time comes for standing up to tyranny. Just read it!!

  2. Liberals vs conservatives. Smokescreen. Both work toward the same goals are controlled by the same elites. Window dressing.

  3. If parents can't support their kids they need to adopt them out or put them in foster care. Many need to quit breeding like rats and get sterilized..Kids cost money big time, and most people shouldn't have any from what I've seen over many decades. Kids over 14 need to work pt time mowing lawns, odd jobs, then after grad. get out of the house and work like my relatives did! Laura Ann
