Let's lay out a few facts that I think most commenters here know or can guess, but just to make sure we're all on the same page:
1. If you earn 50k a year, you pay about $25 in taxes towards all forms of welfare, including SNAP. (Which, by the way, is a good reason to carry cash or a checkbook. Somehow all those people whining about SNAP shut up real fast when you offer them a refund.)
2. Every single dollar put into SNAP brings back $1.75 into the economy in the form of increased economic activity. It is the absolute most effective economic stimulus we have.
