Stimulus jobs certainly do exist

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.

I quite understand the process. But you arent creating anything sustaining. It is a temporary fix. When the 19 billion runs out you are back in the same place you were before and will need more "stimulus". You aren't stimulating anything, you are subsidizing it.
