The Congressional Budget Office said Thursday that 45 million people in 2011 received Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, a 70% increase from 2007. It said the number of people receiving the benefits, commonly known as food stamps, would continue growing until 2014.
Spending for the program, not including administrative costs, rose to $72 billion in 2011, up from $30 billion four years earlier. The CBO projected that one in seven U.S. residents received food stamps last year.

Enrollment way up, spending more than doubled. Yeah, it is obvious this economy is on the right track and growing. :roll:
Thank you Barack Obama. :roll:
And thanks Bush for kicking it all off. Gotta love the Republocrats, doesn't matter which side of the coin we got; they try to **** us over and take the coin regardless.
Bush started Food Stamps ? .... WHO KNEW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope, he kicked off the recession which was sustained by Obama and now is leading to the rise. Did you really need your hand held for that?
If Bush kicked off the recession - and caused it - then why can't Obama end it since it's all, apparently, within presidential powers to roll the ball and stop it at the same time.
It's much more broad than that - just what, exactly, did Bush do to cause it *all* to happen? Do you think that it's all happening like this because we chose to go dance around in the Middle East? Do you think if we ended our involvement over there right now that everything would go back to 'normal' (if there is such a thing - I guess we could say pre 9/11 standards)
Like it or not: we're not holding the ball in this court - **** happens - note: it's happening worldwide: not just in the US.
The world is changing.

LOL ..... it would seem you need bread crumbs to follow.
The OP had it properly framed from the beginning:
"Enrollment way up, spending more than doubled. Yeah, it is obvious this economy is on the right track and growing. :roll:"
That little sarcasm smilie at the end was supposed to be a visual clue for the liberal impaired.
Obama says his plans are working. OK. Thanks for these results Obama.
And thanks Bush for kicking it all off. Gotta love the Republocrats, doesn't matter which side of the coin we got; they try to **** us over and take the coin regardless.
Not to be too particular, but the recession technically ended in the summer of 2009.
Hmm, maybe I should use smiles for the republocrat impaired. I understand that nothing Obama is doing is working. I get that. The recession is still in full swing, but Obama doesn't care about the regular folk; just the banks and wallstreet. Same as Bush. In fact, there's very little functional difference between the two. Obama's plans are working as well as Bush's plans have worked. This is just a continuous long string of affairs by both Republicans and Democrats which led us to this spot. And now we see large sustained unemployment numbers and very little actual movement by the government to rectify the problem. Their buddy's got theirs, and now they no longer care about "fixes".
Republocrats, screwing us over one administration at a time.
'Technically' he's right.That's what the propagandists would like for us to believe, anyway.
Of course it's all very easy to sit outside the window and shout at everyone inside, but there IS a difference between the Democrats and the Republicans. You may not like either party, but they are not the same.
'Technically' he's right.

But I can understand where the technical use and common use can be confusing.
Yea they are. The present themselves different publically but they are exactly the same greedy bunch of corrupt assholes on both sides. You are just blind to the one side that holds your leash.
Technicalities don't mean ****. The reality is, we're still in a recession.
