Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack repeated the White House claim that food stamps and other forms of government welfare are stimulus programs in disguise, stating that when government gives out money, it is creating jobs.
“But I should point out that when you talk about the SNAP program or the food stamp program, you have to recognize that it’s also an economic stimulus,” Vilsack said Tuesday on MSNBC’s Morning Joe program. (SNAP is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.)
“If people are able to buy a little more in the grocery store, then someone has to stock it, shelve it, process it, package it, ship it,” he said. “All of those are jobs. It’s the most direct stimulus you can get in the economy during these tough times.”

The plumbers are here cause the shitter’s full. What a fuckin moron. Its really Nancy in drag with a different name. You should feel good about yourself next time you go take a dump, cause somebody made that toilet paper and others had to package it. Some store had to stock it on the shelf…… and so on. I’d say that if that dumb fucker took a round through the brain pan, whoever fired the shot, should be glad cause somebody made the rifle, somebody made the bullet and that my friends IS STIMULATING!
