One in Seven Americans on Food Stamps

There is an incredible statistic out this month showing that in February 14.3% of the population relies on food stamps.

That translates to 44.2 million Americans receiving benefits.

Mississippi and Oregon were among the states with the largest share of the population utilizing food stamps in February: Wyoming had the lowest rate of recipients with just 6.6% of the state’s residents using food stamps.

I wonder what we could have done with the $600 million we just burned away in Libya.
