Food Stamp Use at Record Levels

John McCain and the Republicans want for more years of Bush economic policies.  This, despite the fact they have been clearly detrimental to the everyday realities of working men and women.  The New York Times reports on another sign that shows just how bad things have become:

Driven by a painful mix of layoffs and rising food and fuel prices, the number of Americans receiving food stamps is projected to reach 28 million in the coming year, the highest level since the aid program began in the 1960s.
