Obama Regime Spending $41.3 Million A Year To Advertise Food Stamps
Spending on advertising and outreach for food stamps has increased six-fold since 2000 — reaching $41.3 million in 2011, according to a new GOP report.
According to calculations released by Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions Budget Committee staff, using data from the Agriculture Department’s Economic Research Service, in the year 2000 spending on advertising for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) — or food stamps — was approximately $6.5 million.
In the ensuing years, spending on advertising and outreach steadily increased reaching $41.3 million in 2011, according to the calculations, which were confirmed by the Congressional Research Service, according to Budget Committee staff.
Wild Thing’s comment.………
Damn Obama to hell .
That’s because our troops don’t vote Democrat.
Why does the US government spend money on advertizing any of it’s programs except military recruiting(and that could be cut back). I used to really get hacked when the Postal Service sponsored Lance Armstrong and the US cycling team. Why should they advertize in Europe and Latin America? Anyway, that bunch of bicycling druggies came back and bit their sponsors in the ass.
