Struggling Americans May Get More Food Stamps

Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives, is leading efforts to devise a new $150 billion (£88 billion) lifeline for low income Americans.
Ms Pelosi wants to galvanise backing for a new financial stimulus package to increase the US food-stamp programme and extend unemployment benefits. It is understood that she is also proposing that federal funds be used for new public infrastructure projects to create jobs.
Food stamps date back to 1943, and are part of a federal programme that gives very low-income families an allowance to spend on groceries. The allowance is distributed on to debit cards which can be used in supermarkets across the country, and recipients are also eligible to claim free school meals for their children.A record 28 million Americans now receive food stamps at a cost to the Government of almost $30 billion a year.

Don't make me laugh !

Nancy Pelosi and her criminal buddies in Congress have two aims with this proposal

1. Cover their asses so the American public will think twice about booting them out of office come the elections.

2. Make the American public more and more dependant upon the state for it existance.

Note they say it will be supported to be implemented AFTER the elections

All part of the plan so don't fall for it !
