Well of course it is, but as far as social services that help the poor -- it's great stimulus, which is what I meant and what I should've said.
If you're of the mind that the govt. helping the poor eat is a bad idea altogether, then surely they're a bad idea -- but if we're providing social services to poor people, then food stamps are excellent as it provides food, helps local businesses, and goes back to those providing and shipping the food. It's a very solid social service program.
