Food Stamp participation is at an all-time high as the Democrats meet in Charlotte to celebrate these four glorious years.
In August 2008, participation was about 29 million people. June 2012 saw the participation of 46.7 million people. 46.7 divided by 29 is....1.61.
A 61% increase in participation in just under four years, most of that time under the Obama administration.
Like every other achievement, it took determined effort to accomplish. Indeed, the Obama Administration devoted great effort and huge amounts of money borrowed from the Chinese, which of course will have to be paid back by us and our children.
A small price to pay for this landmark moment.
In the 1960's, the United States put men on the Moon. In the 1980's, we launched Space Shuttles and took the Soviet Empire down without firing a shot. In the 1990's, American ingenuity put a computer in every home and connected them all together via the internet. In the 2000's, clever things like iPhones and computer tablets appeared and became ubiquitous, and wireless. Internet commerce blossomed. Need we go on?
These paltry events pale in comparison to the crowning achievement of Barack Hussein Obama.
Undoubtedly, Himself will be much too modest to mention it Thursday night.
For a history of food stamps, refer to OS's earlier post.
