40,800,000 Americans on Food Stamps
August 5, 2010
40,800,000 Americans on Food Stamps. The number roughly corresponds with the entire population of the following states and the nations capital:
Wyoming
Washington DC
Vermont
North Dakota
Alaska
South Dakota
Delaware
Montana
Rhode Island
Hawaii
Maine
New Hampshire
Idaho
Nebraska
West Virginia
New Mexico
Nevada
Utah
Kansas
Arkansas
Mississippi
Iowa
Connecticut
Oklahoma
Everyone in those states theoretically is on food stamps. That’s the new reality people. We have literally 1/2 the nation on food stamps in terms of number of states.
Let that settle in. 1/2 the number of states in the entire country, if you add their population up roughly equals the number of people on food stamps. I don’t see how an ad agency can advertise to people with no money.
This is a massive problem, it’s something that has been unheard of in recent times, only mirrored by the great depression in terms of severity. So go ahead and continue to feel that things are getting better, when in reality things are getting worse, much worse.
I fully expect a severe double dip recession unless someone comes up with a big bubble. Until that time there continues to be less need for work as less and less people are making ends meet and have any disposable income to use to purchase services and goods.
Truly, enjoy the new reality.
