Sorry. That's "Jesus Regan" to you know who. Respect the Ronald and bury the truth, otherwise you know who will get in a tizzy.

Believe it or not, Food stamps are good for the economy, they don't hurt and they actually don't cost anything when you consider the long term. This was one of the few good things that George W Bush actually helped along. (This, and he declared a big chunk of the pacific ocean a park. Thats about it). $1.00 of food stamps generates $1.84 in Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
But of course, Republicans now hate it because Obama is for it. (Why? Because he's black.). They coined the term "Food Stamp President" and managed to cut $4.5 Billion over the next few years. You can read more about this at

I'm not pissed off. I'm happy because its a great idea. Paying people more will help reduce poverty and give people a real chance. It will also boost the economy thanks to more people being able to buy more things (like porn)
