America - Food Stamp nation?

 I found this article http://news.yahoo.com/usa-becomes-food-stamp-nation-sustainable-160645036.html extremely ironic to see in the same evening as on our local news I saw a story about how many people who qualify for food stamps don't apply, often because there's still a stigma attached to receiving benefits or because they don't even realize they qualify because they are working.

It's a pathetic nation in which our largest employer will not work employees enough hours in order to not need government assistance to even support themselves plus only 1 child. 

By gosh, if there's any Social security left by the time I'm 70, if I can qualify for whatever is handed out as food stamps then, I will be applying and using. I've paid my dues, thank you very much. 

Guess it's a good thing

 I didn't have kids.

Sure don't need more citizens who lack empathy and can't relate to others but have good cognitive skills.
