Sorry, it's not called food stamps any more. It's the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
You can get US population monthly estimates here. 2011 data was interpolated.
That's 14.3%. One in seven!!!
Nothing to see here folks, move along. It's not a depression.
SNAP!!!

Kind of insane that it was 9% during the boom too (the 2007 side of that chart).
Boom ended in 2005 actually (which makes sense only in retrospect.)
