    All true. Really not a surprise. In 1982 we had over 10% unemployment for a time. But far less people on food stamps.
    times have changed. There was a stigma associated with food stamps and even unemployment checks.

    As I said, not a surprise today we have over 1 in 8 people on food stamps. It will likely stay that way.

    But as I said.....I would never have thought I would live to see it.
