Oregon Excels At Food Stamp Use!
Posted on December 10th, 2010 by MoverMike
What is going on in Oregon that lands us in the unenviable position of fifth highest percentage of states whose population uses food stamps? According to the WSJ, Oregon has 19.3% of its population on food stamps; 738,702 up 13.2% over last year.
The interesting thing about the company we keep is that only New Mexico in the west is in the top 12 states. With all the fiscal troubles in California, California is not on the list, nor is Washington, Idaho, Utah or Nevada.
Tim Iacono at The Mess That Greenspan Made has the chart.
