Market Celebrates Just Announced Record Foodstamp Usage By Closing At 2010 Highs

For those seeking a perfect explanation of what is happening in United Banana States of America right now, then look no further: the just released September Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program data is out and we are happy to report that the number of poor Americans has never been higher - SNAP recipients just hit a fresh all time high of 42.9 million. Naturally, the market celebrates the record number of poor Americans by closing at 2010 highs.

As the 99'ers fall off extended unemployment expect this number to continue to grow for a while. With all the hype over economic recovery, the food stamp metric is one that indicates the exact opposite.

If you like to see how bad this has been throughout this recession, you can review the data here: http://www.fns.usda.gov/pd/34snapmonthly.htm

Now set that beside graphs of corporate profits over the same time period and I wonder what you'd see.

That is why we need to push for Ron Paul to make the fed open its books. The left, right, and center ought to agree on one thing. We need to claw back the illicit profits of the banksters and Wall Street. We don’t need to write a single law. We simply need someone with the sand to enforce what is already on the books. Fraud is fraud it is as simple as that.

Your chart doesn't show the relationship between corporate profits and increased food stamp usage. Where is the cause and effect that you are aiming for? Are you saying that increased corporate profits create poor people? Then prove that contention.

Q: Why do so many people require US government funded food?

A: Six people share a pie. One of them eats five slices. The other five people split the remaining slice.

And how is the money generated to create government jobs? Quantitative easing or borrowing.

There will be no recovery. I'm not sure why people don't understand that being on a Peak Oil site.
