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.


But Obama has welfare for pedophiles polygamist FLDS. But then his dad
was polygamist. Which I find disgusting. Obama should be kicking
administration ass on that one.


**** you. You're a racist little man, who's bitter about his station
in life.

Huh?

The people who organized the American revolution were rich men who
didn't want to pay taxes and did not have a problem with slaves,
indentured servants and overthrowing the government.

The tea party is pretty tame in comparison


Firstly, many of the American rev. DID have a problem with slaves.

But, yes, by comparison they're pretty tame. The difference of course
is that the teagaggers are mostly middle class, and were hoodwinked by
the very rich and connected to get THEIR taxes lowered. They tend to
have a poor understand of what gov't does, think it's evil, right up
until they're affected. Given the made up crisis of the debt ceiling,
the S&P downgrade, the market drop, they'll find out shortly that
they're the ones most affected.
