At the beginning of the recession, 9 million children received food stamps. Read more at the Wall Street Journal.

  1. What do you mean “children”? Its the “Parents” that qualify and then get a certain amount based on income and amount of “dependents”. You don’t have a 6 year old kid walking into a SNAP office on his own and request “food stamps”.
