Food Stamps are Economic Stimulus???

In an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on August 16, 2011, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack called the Department of Agriculture’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) which was formerly known as the Food Stamp Program an “economic stimulus” that drives economic growth.

In addition to raising some eyebrows (of the 3 or 4 folks that watch “Morning Joe), he qualified to be named Porker of the Month by Citizens Against Government Waste.

Congratulations Mr. Secretary!!!
