>>It's not like we don't already have food stamps and unemployment and charities and all kinds of means for people to get food. What is in the stimulus bill is just another layer of food stamps and unemployment.<<

Steve -

What's in the stimulus plan is not money to give people who are already getting unemployment and food stamps more of them. It's to extend unemployment benefits for people who have been unable to find work, and who are going to have an even harder time finding it in the current climate. And it's to get food stamps into the hands of people who wouldn't be getting them otherwise.
