Reply #3: $233 a month for food? [View All]

[boppers]

I could *easily* feed a family of four on that, but I've been broke, homeless, and jobless, before, (and I was raised with lots of spates of severe poverty in my family) so I know a few tricks.

That being said, this line in the article caught my eye:
"Unlike the upper-income tax cuts Republicans furiously protect, food stamps, minimalist as they are, are antirecession sparks that generate $9 in economic activity for every $5 spent, according to federal statistics."

Heck, at that rate of return, we should put as many people on food stamps as we can get to sign up.
