Reply #3: Every food stamp $ spent produces almost $2 dollars in stimulus to the economy by

buying food products which only cost .20cents to make so pays wages to all those who got it to market who will in turn then have money to spend buying other products and services further stimulating the economy. The roofer's wife is a waitress who got tips from those with unemployment benefits who could afford to continue eat out with their families once a week so she doesn't lose her job and the restaurant stays in business as she brings home more earnings the restaurant owner can finally pay for a new roof and pays the waitress' husband to roof it...so now with the earnings from both waitress and roofer husband they can afford to buy a new truck bringing funds to the truck salesman who can now also afford to eat out and tip the waitress and keep the restaurant owner in business so he can pay for his new roof...etc., etc., etc.

Republicans still too slow to see that you grow an economy from the ground up...so people have money to spend to buy goods and services keeping the cycle going. They want to eliminate food stamps and unemployment ins and then scratch their heads watching the economy fail for millions 'cause they already got theirs from being born to it or gaming tax payer dollars.

What self defeating idiots these tea partiers be, shooting themselves in the feet because they were told "You don't want the government telling you what shoes to buy." They learn nothing from history and find it difficult to feel empathy for another human being. Believing propaganda TV because it gives them someone to blame and hate, truth be damned. They are causing the very collapse that will soon engulf them choosing THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN OVER THE MOST THAT CAN BE ACHIEVED AT PRESENT... as they try to burn their 'Bushie' uniforms and pretend it wasn't them.

Republicans would rather start a war than loose an election. Cause the economy to fall into disaster than have people with solutions show them up...or shred the Constitution rather than lose power. To not know they are destroying our democracy is to not WANT to know.
