Default the facts about government spending

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.

People with the I.Q. of a 3 day old carp "think" your defunct country
consists of democrats and republicans, and never miss an opportunity to
prove that fact.

This "defunct" country of ours is by far the best one on the planet.
Feel free to not live here.


You would have to be a fool to plan on living in your country (or become
part of the growing welfare "couch-class"), and worse yet, to try to produce
a product in your country. That's why you clowns have wages equal to the mid
to late 70's. You've been thumped by Asia, that was enabled by the slime you
"elected" and secured by your inept population. Sorry that the facts hurt
but soon the ignorant masses need to understand the ramifications of their
behavior.


Feel free never to visit. We don't need you. BTW, stop using the
Internet. It was invented here.


Yep, and like TVs, radios, computers, routers and a lot of other stuff,
you can't make them competitively any more.

Seems like paying your bills with real money is no longer the accepted
behavior in USA. Perhaps that is the problem and not the the solution.
