Of course I was told by her that food stamps were actually economic stimulus so i guess this will hurt the economy...
Yes, food stamps and unemployment assistance generate about $1.67 for each dollar spent in the economy, and tax cuts generate about 30 cents of economic growth for each dollar spent.

Of course you knew that

what happens when food stamp money is diverted to subsidize fruit for rich kids? More or less?

I think it's wrong to cut food stamp money. I think fruit and veggies for snacks for kids in school is great. Better than the soda and candy and McDonalds' crap in some schools now.

You're ignoring facts again. LAKE GENEVA is getting a grant!!! Kids around here are Colorado healthy and Burlington/everywhere else in WI maybe could use it but let's sink our heads into the sand (i'll loosen it up w/the Cobalt) and pretend.

OK the kids appreciate it and I have become a believer finally.

These kids parents are a bright bunch and that money saved on fruit for say Penny Pritzgers kids could become a new Hyatt, fully staffed. Maybe we can stop all food stamps and just give it to the rich to invest. More wrigley gum plants, more investments with dreyfuss and more stays at hyatt. As my friend Brockguy would say 'brilliant!'

You own 'Village Idiot' you know that don't you?

Well, not when looking at you from our side

And the median household income in Lake Geneva is about $50,000, I'd imagine. But you know that, right?
