A little off topic. I was surprised to read this Costco Accepts Food Stamps
"FOOD STAMPS AT A GLANCE
Some 36 million Americans are on food stamps, an increase of nearly 10 million over the past two years. The program at a glance:
Food stamps were established by Congress in 1964.
* The program pays for most foods. It cannot be used for household or personal hygiene products, pet food, prepared hot meals, alcohol or cigarettes.
* Some 66% of those eligible participate.
* The average recipient last June got more than $133; the average household, more than $293. The U.S. Department of Agriculture distributed more than $4.6 billion in food stamps that month."
America's population is approx 308m so that is about 11.7%!
Approx 4.6 billion dollars per month!
