While surely there are people in need, spending close to 20 billion on food stamps does not help create economic growth
20 billion in sales in the food/grocery industry doesn't count as "economic growth"?

Think of those "jobs saved" that don't exist ... checkout people, aisle stockers, delivery truck drivers, warehouse workers, more truck drivers, produce farm workers.
