42,911,042

So what is 42,911,042?

Sounds like a huge number.

Is it - Forty Two Million Nine Hundred Eleven Thousand Forty Two Dollars?  No but that is a lot of money.

Sad to say it is the number of Ameriucans on food stamps.  As of Oct 2, 2010, another half-million Americans signed up for food stamps, bringing the number to 42,911,042 participants.

Food stamps are the soup lines of the Great Depression.
