> There are more individuals on food stamps in the U.S. economy than the entire population of Spain---46.17 million. (Source: World Bank web site, last accessed June 21, 2013.)
> That costs the government money. The expenditure for food stamps in 2012 was $74.6 billion, almost 116% higher than what it paid in 2008. That’s a cost that could pick up even more speed if, as all indicators show, inflation begins to rise.
> The key stock indices in the U.S. economy have skyrocketed since the Great Recession, due in large part to money printing, but the average American Joe hasn’t seen his living conditions improve---in fact, they have actually deteriorated.
Holy shit.

It's probably the only thing stimulating the economy in some areas of your fast-deteriorating shithole of a country (assuming you're American.) Walmart needs those dollars from somewhere you know.
