shoppers are showing up at 11 PM at many grocery stores, why?  Because their food stamp cards are electronically replensihed at  midnight. The panry is bare by month end. Stores have noticed and are making changes in inventory to take this into account.  Many offer smaller sizes priced under one dollar by month end.

Funny the NBER says the recession is over…

    Fascinating. I’ve never thought about that but it makes sense. I’m sitting here watching Hannity and a clip was just played where Nancy Pelosi stated that the quickest way to create jobs is to provide more food stamps and unemployment. While I do believe assistance is necessary to help people through difficult times, I can’t quite figure her economic philosophy out! How does she believe these entitlements create jobs? It just means higher taxes for those who are employed.

    That clip was on Cavuto this afternoon as well, I don’t think she really understands the difference between riding in the wagon and the real necessity that someone has to pull the wagon
