Fat and happy people, as a general rule, do not riot and rebel against their captors.
Even those of us who had it well in the 90's and early 00's, while not living nearly as well as we had been, are by and large not struggling to feed our families now. The poor, that are most impacted, are receiving aid in an increased capacity - there's no surprise there.
The people bitching the loudest about the increase in food stamps recipients by and large are the lower middle class, which fears they will be next.
And they have every reason.
Please direct you attention toward the Tampa woman who got threatening letters from the chick who was fuc1<ing the Head of the CIA so that behind your back we can raid SSI and increase your taxes before the end of the year to avoid the "Fiscal Cliff".
So much more pleasant to watch the govt's version of TMZ rather than address the problem (which neither Romney nor Obama ever came close to doing in their respective campaigns - for good reason - they didn't have to. the sheep follow)

that's what napolean made sure of, that no matter how bad things were while he tried to take over the world, the bread remained cheap to all the huddled masses. that way they didn't yelp as much while he killed frenchmen by the score in misguided and badly waged wars.
now doesn't that sound familiar?
