Food stamps: Real welfare queens live in Manhattan

Indiana Daily Student
Hands up, on closer reading this turned out to be a piece about US security – but it’s still a great piece of writing with a charming headline
Food stamp usage in the United States has increased 14 percent from the last fiscal year, leaving 43 million individuals, one in seven
Americans, largely reliant on the underfunded government program,
according to the Department of Agriculture. No doubt the recent spike in food stamp recipients, a large portion of whom are single parents trying to raise their children, will most likely cause right-wing politicians and television hosts to scrutinize the American welfare program with party lines, such as ?creating a culture of dependence? and ?welfare queens driving around in Cadillacs.?
