I'm coming to think of that as the only slogan I need to argue against conservative policies. This is the latest outrage.
The Food-Stamp Crime Wave
The number of food-stamp recipients has soared to 44 million from 26 million in 2007. Not surprisingly, fraud and abuse are rampant.

Bovard mentions a few examples of fraud and waste and then makes the leap to the disintegration of society:
H.L. Mencken quipped that the New Deal divided America into "those who work for a living and those who vote for a living." The explosion in the number of food-stamp recipients tilts the political playing field in favor of big government. The more people who become government dependents, the more likely that democracy will become a conspiracy against self-reliance.
