Because record numbers of folks are on the food stamps, record dollars are being spent on food stamps, and yet the economy sucks. Because Warren Buffet didn't get rich by handing out food stamps.

Seems to me that if 47 million food stamp recipients (out of 300 million Americans) were such a great investment, we'd see soem improvement.

Spence, would the economy be better off if (1) everyone needed to be on food stamps, or (2) no one needed to be on food stamps.

This is a from a guy who works in busiess of some sort? Saying that welfare (especially welfare that we have to borrow to provide) is a good investment.
