Food Stamps

On the news today I heard a democrat saying that food stamps stimulate the economy and he was glad to see the increase in food stamps. Do people really buy into these lies? I would like to see an analysis of how much the government spends on distribution, administration, and maintaining ever dollar of food stamps. I bet we spend over $10 for ever $1 we distribute. Maybe if we took this money and actually helped people get work, not only would we help feed the needy but also give them self accomplishment. Making people dependent on the government does nothing to help people or the economy.
