The Daily Caller posted a story earlier in the week about President Obama, through the USDA, promoting the increased dependency on government through the use of food stamps.   This, despite the fact that federal spending on the food stamp program has increased  100 percent under President Barack Obama, the government continues to push more  Americans to enroll in the welfare program.
(from the article) The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has embraced entire  promotional campaigns designed to encourage eligible Americans to participate in  the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or food stamps.
A pamphlet currently posted at the USDA website encourages local SNAP offices  to throw parties as one way to get potentially eligible seniors to enroll in the  program.

“Throw a Great Party. Host social events where people mix and mingle,” the  agency advises. “Make it fun by having activities,  games, food, and entertainment, and provide information about SNAP. Putting SNAP  information in a game format like BINGO, crossword puzzles, or even a ‘true/false’ quiz is fun and helps get your message across in a memorable  way.”

It seems a little odd to have a party to promote Senior Citizen use of Food Stamps.   However, apparently in Alabama the parties are quite popular; and now I understand a little better.   Here is a flyer for one of the more recent parties organized by “Young, Black, & Gettin’ Money” promotions:

Unless there are boundless “hip hop” Senior Citizens in Alabama clad with ‘booty shorts’ dancing to ‘Lo-Key’ and ‘Hard Head’ it would appear the “aimed at senior citizens” claim is, perhaps, just a, well, cover.
I mean, why would such a  program for “Senior” outreach be supported by a food stamp promotion group called “Young-Black-&-Gettin’ Money“?
Wait,…. what,….. huh?     Oooohhh yeah….

Nevermind, I stand corrected…….
