In 2008 New York Times reported that 28 million people received food stamps, the highest level since the aid program began in the 1960s. This year the New York Times did not report on this issue, but Huffington Post did and we learned that in June of 2012 46.7 million "Americans -- or roughly one in five adults -- used food stamps." Nearly 19 million increase.
huffingtonpost.com writes: "Food stamp use has spiked 51 percent since October 2008, when the economy was in free fall....Even with food stamps, many Americans are struggling to put food on the table. Nearly one in five Americans did not have enough money to pay for food some time in the past year, according to Gallup."
So, are we really better off?
