"Food stamp use soars in Mass.; Fastest-growing program in nation" by Jonnelle Marte, Globe Correspondent | July 23, 2008
Massachusetts, which earlier this decade had the lowest percentage of eligible residents using food stamps, now has the fastest-growing food-stamp program in the country, a dramatic turnaround that state officials attribute to soaring food prices and a simplified application process.
As food and fuel costs continue to rise, the officials say, people who would not normally use food stamps are turning to the federal program to make ends meet.
"I think low-income families are faced and will be faced this winter with the difficult choice of eating or heating a home," said Patricia Baker, senior policy analyst for the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute, a nonprofit organization that advocates for the poor.
Food banks had hoped that making food stamps available to more people who qualify would make them less dependent on food pantries. But food has become so expensive that stamps alone are not enough, activists say.
Oh, so this government can PISS AWAY TRILLIONS and they are STILL SHORT on the funds needed to FEED US, huh?
