Increasing Food Stamps (I don't recall seeing any present Food Stamp recipients starving on the streets, or running around with extended bellies - seems increasing Food Stamp subsidies targets a particular voting demographic - , of course any resemblance is surely coincidental)... and as several learned economic academics have cited in the last 10 days, the Administration AND the congress ought to be targeting the economy EXCLUSIVELY and not cloud the picture (and expend energies) with partisan, special interest issues and programs - aka Equal Pay for Women, Stem Cell Research, Partisan re-districting, Cigar Taxes, Abortion, and so on. It's about the ECONOMY STUPID!

Get that straight and then go off and satisfy your personal adjenda! Without a strong and growing economy, everything else is for naught!! All IMHO of course...


Indeed, if you can't see through this budget and stimulus bill, you aren't looking.
