        I have a full-time job. I am currently searching for an additional job with no luck (it took me 8 mos to find the one I have). I qualify for food stamps. I am not the exception but the norm.

        The economy grows about $1.79 per dollar spent on food stamps. That's an incredible return on investment. We should EXPAND them.

        Tax cuts? About 75 CENTS growth per dollar cut. So if you want a booming economy, it seems clear which to do....

        All benefits designed to help the less fortunate remain in the local economy. These bozos who want to cut the programs don't realize that this federal money helps local businesses.

        Maybe if the Trump administration wasnt so good at killing jobs, people would have a chance.
