What Rising Food Stamp Enrollment Really Means For You

In January of 2009, when Obama first took office, there were 31.9 million Americans on food stamps. Today, there are 47.6 million -- an increase of almost 50 percent. And food prices are insane -- $6 for a 12 oz. package of romaine lettuce. $1 for a single apple. $12 for enough "cheap" meat to feed a family of four for a single meal.

Yes, these are problems in and of themselves. But they're also symptoms of a much deeper problem.

As the old saying goes,

"Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it."

History is filled with lessons of food that is so expensive ... or in such short supply ... that people go hungry.

For example, the great Irish potato famine of the 1840s was a lesson on what not to do -- rely on just one type of crop to feed millions of people. (The problem was further compounded by misguided trade policies as well, shipping what little food there was out of the country.)

So what does 21st century U.S. agribusiness do? Plant millions upon millions of contiguous square acres of single crops like corn or wheat. U.S. crops are sitting ducks, waiting for just one plant disease to come along and wipe them all out (like the Ugg99 stem rust that is moving around the globe destroying wheat crops everywhere).

Those aren't the only reasons for high food prices and hunger, of course. In fact, often it has nothing at all to do with natural causes and everything to do with politics ... power ... and corruption.

And that's exactly what you're seeing under the Obama administration. Today's rising food prices and burgeoning food stamp rolls are a result of "the perfect storm" -- of government regulation gone amuck, corrupt corporations, and partisan politics. And it's certainly not going to get better any time soon.

But you don't have to be a victim, you don't have to go hungry, and you can even avoid becoming dependent on the government to feed you. As long as you understand the lessons of history, you'll be equipped to avoid the pitfalls of today's "perfect storm."
