Lets sum up the Food Stamp program really fast:
Do people on food stamps eat differently than your average American? No
Does the food stamp program have a significant effect on the US budget? No
Would cutting the food stamp program cost the tax payer more money? Yes, paying for hospitalization due to malnutrition due to starvation, and death is more expensive than providing a means to buy bead and milk.
Why are people on food stamps? A profitable company, that pays nothing in taxes wanted to move into Small Town USA to 'create jobs.' They got the local Government to subsidize their building of their place of business. They then hired 300 employees at minimum wage, and 40 salaried workers at just above a livable wage. The Government has to step in and subsidize the 300 workers food, housing, and income that the company making money doesn't pay for, and they have to do it without taxes that the company would pay. The Government is already in the hole for building their place of business, and then they're going to give them a bonus 'tax break' for creating all these jobs.
Conclusion of Republicans and Libertarians: Clearly the working class is at fault for not trying hard enough. Give the company another tax break and see if it solves anything. Throw in a tax rate cut on the upper 10% of the tax payers than run the company too, so they can upgrade their jumbo jet. May be it will trickle down to the working class guy. Why would it trickle down? Well because... EMAILS AND BENGHAZI!
