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.

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

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.
