Food Stamp program up from 35 to $80 billion on Obama's Watch

And BTW haven't these EBT Cards been in the news recently, too? Oh, yeah, that's right. They're what terrorists like Tamerlan Tsarnaev use to buy bags of Frito Lay when they aren't blowing chit up, or anything!

Nearly 47 million people – one in seven Americans – rely on food stamps for some or all of their daily sustenance, according to the Department of Agriculture, a number that has grown nearly 70 percent since the financial collapse of 2008.
