Obama's Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack: "Well, obviously, it's putting people to work. Which is why we're going to have some interesting things in the course of the forum this morning.

Later this morning, we're going have a press conference with Secretary Mavis and Secretary Chu to announce something that's never happened in this country -- something that we think is exciting in terms of job growth.

I should point out, when you talk about the SNAP program or the foot stamp program, you have to recognize that it's also an economic stimulus.

Every dollar of SNAP benefits generates $1.84 in the economy in terms of economic activity.

OK! Let’s all go on food stamps!!!! The economy will go to Pluto!

Is this Vilsack’s attempt at a Jedi mind trick?

[Recon Dad]

As we used to say, he’s so full of sh#t his eyes are brown.

[fatnotlazy]

Words fail me.

[ozzymandus]

Orwellian.

[massgopguy]

But it takes $4 out of the economy to get the $1 to the Free Lunch program.

This makes as much sense as claiming that thermometers cause heat.

His name is wrong. He should be Tom VileSack.

The GOP should be collecting quotes from all these idiot appointees of Obama’s and make campaign ads asking voters,”Do you want these people running the country for four more years?” Voters need to hear just how far from the real America these czars and secretaries are in their thinking and planning.

I'm going to go on food stamps for freedom because I'm patriotic.

I'm a proud American!

I know you’re being sarcastic, but Nutsack would probably make you head of the new Department of Jobs.

"Show me the math!"

Ex-Lax is also a stimulant, but once you’ve pooped yourself out there’s nothing left but a sore butt and less toilet paper.

LMAO, unemployment checks, food stamps...what’s next? How about Medicaid & cowboy poetry? I’m starting to come around to their way of thinkin’; work is BS.

[gov_bean_ counter]

OH SNAP

[jazusamo]

The turkey must believe full employment is a drain on the economy.

HOW do you compete when such clear lies, and insanity, is the accepted CURRENT TRUTH, unquestioned by the media??
