Soaring SNAP

And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
--Duran Duran

After last month's belated report indicated more than 400,000+ Americans joining foodstamp rolls, this month's number soared by another 600,000+. That's the biggest jump since May 2011.

The number of Americans on foodstamps now approaches 48 million.

Felix Leiter: Listen, I'm bleeding chips. I'm not going to last much longer. You have a better chance. I'll stake you. I'm saying I'll give you the money to keep going. Just one thing: you pull it off, the CIA bring him in.

James Bond: What about the winnings?

Felix Leiter: Does it look like we need the money?
