Patrick is right. The problem is the economy. And the way to cut food stamps is to restore American jobs. The best and easiest way to do that is raise import tariffs and put Americans back to work.
For starters tariffs on incoming goods ought to at least be equal to the tax burden on domestic producers.
And secondly, the cost of American unemployment benefits, medicaid and food stamps for those willing to work should also be applied to foriegn goods. Because those foreign goods are costing us indirectly by raising American unemployment.
The unemployed should me doing community service...let them work at least four days a week.

Raising prices to consumers will not do a thing to increase jobs in America
