Let's put everyone on food stamps and unemployment. That will solve all our problems.
I remember going through this with saganista..
I say EVERYONE goes on them. Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, they will be doing their civic duty by going on food stamps.
Better yet, why dont the government SELL them.. We can buy them with real cash, cutting the deficits, and then spend them, boosting the economy.. Woo hoo.. These Democrats are geniuses.. Why didnt they think of it before.. haha
People who are on food stamps shop buy food which stimulates the grocery stores and supermarkets. Unemployment benefits also stimulates the economy. Essentially we need to stimulate demand. Unfortunately those who are poor don't have money so they can't stimulate business. There is a multiplier effect with food stamps and unemployment benefits.
