From an article in the Economist:

"Food stamps, they argue, are far from lavish. Only those with incomes
of 130% of the poverty level or less are eligible for them. The amount
each person receives depends on their income, assets and family size,
but the average benefit is $133 a month and the maximum, for an
individual with no income at all, is $200."

and

"Food stamps also help stimulate the economy more than other forms of
government spending, points out Jim Weill of Food Research and Action
Centre, a charity, since their recipients are so poor that they tend
to spend them immediately. When Moody?s Analytics assessed different
forms of stimulus, it found that food stamps were the most effective,
increasing economic activity by $1.73 for every dollar spent.
Unemployment insurance came in second, at $1.62, whereas most tax cuts
yielded a dollar or less. All the talk in Washington these days,
however, is of cutbacks?even for the hungry."

Of course, the asshole teabagger Republicans don't give a crap about
the poor.

Hey, if the poor don't care why should we? After all they voted Obama
which means they don' care about America.

says the guy who wants america destroyed as long as the rich are
protected....and are white

Destroying the rich, destroys the poor.

Huh? So, you believe that the rich should not pay their fair share and
that any tax or imposition on them destroys America. You probably
claim to be a teagagger.

Rich already do pay MORE than their fair share idiot. All you do with
that line is tell us you never got of the bottom rung of society. Yep,
you are a loser.

No, they don't. You're too stupid to get it, so you believe paying a
CEO 500x a regular worker who pays a higher percentage in taxes is
just fine. You are the bottom rung.

Faact is your full of **** as you never have made minimum wage for 2
weeks....before your fat ass was fired. And that assumes you got hired
once upon a time.
