Where are my Food Stamps?

House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA):



At a press conference in her home town of San Francisco, Pelosi explained that the program’s multiplier effect –the amount of money generated in the local economy as the result of the subsidy– far exceeds the nearly $60 billion spent this year by the federal government and is a sure-fire way to stimulate the economy.  “It is the biggest bang for the buck when you do food stamps and unemployment insurance. The biggest bang for the buck.” 

Am I the only one in America who isn't on the dole, receiving food stamps (Federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)? The way it works now, you don't get the script (sort of like money) anymore. It' an ATM card. And you can use it to buy goods and services at strip clubs and casinos according to CNN (LINK HERE).




I feel just a bit guilty that I haven't been supporting gambling or "adult entertainment" -- all in the name of stimulating -- the economy. Right, that's what I'd be stimulating! According to CNN, "In the last six months, the debit cards withdrew more than $1.8 million of taxpayer cash on casino floors (in California)."
Can you find it in your heart to forgive me for slacking in my duty to get the US economy jump started?

It's the pelosi Stamp of Approval. She wants to see everybody weak and vulnerable, easily controlled. When the government feeds you, you are less likely to oppose government schemes.

New Motto: Buy a bimbo with your food stamps! Help the economy.

WoFat, it reminds me of the Dire Straits song - Get your money for nothing and your chicks at government expense...

LL, it really works. I spent mine at the local strip club for drinks and one dollar bills. The stripper then was able to go out and buy feminine products from the local "Stop and Go". Then Fiad, the night clerk, was able to pay his taxes to pay for my food stamps ... Is this a great country or what?

Ok now that is funny. Recently I see all the news about how they are complaining becuase they want to make it so food stamp people cannot buy coke and cigs....I have heard nothing about your post "such as gambling" but to be honest it does not surprise me...AT all....

Black Widow - if you're on welfare and if you feel that you need a lap dance, according to liberals, it would be DISCRIMINATION to deny you that thrill. It seems to me as though Chris Matthews discussed that very thrill running up his leg toward his groin when he listened to Barack Obama speak.

Does that mean that Obama is sort of a Liberal Lap Dance?
