You see food stamps and see "entitlement". I see a whole chain of people that didn't lose jobs. Economic growth in the sense of expansion? Nope. But certainly, in a terrible economy, there are economic benefits to keeping people working, and spending (paying rent, mortgage, buying food, etc); and also to not having those among us, in the highest unemployment, starve.

Food stamps arent part of a social program and arent a temporary fix?
