August 9, 2013 - Fox News FULL Special: Great Food Stamp Binge --- With one in seven Americans now receiving food stamps, a Fox News investigative team traveled the country to expose the government's startling attempts to get even more people to sign up for the "Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program".
Here's how many people are on SNAP, by State. Hawaii 189.647 http://www.fns.usda.gov/pd/29snapcurrpp.htm
The USDA Outreach Plan,has spent 3 Million in advertising/promotion of SNAP.
Here's their plan. http://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/outreach/gu...teplan.htm
Reports by John Roberts and Peter Boyer explore whether the food stamp program can ultimately make the poor dependent on government, and ask how many taxpayer dollars meant for the truly needy end up in the pockets of those able to fend for themselves. This documentary profiles a blissfully jobless surfer who expects taxpayers to underwrite his life of beaches and booze, visits a pastor angry over Spanish ads designed to convince reluctant immigrants to get on food stamps, and reveals how social workers won a government award for breaking down the "Mountain Pride" that makes some Tar Heels unwilling to accept government handouts.
