Except that foods stamps, after having taken off like a rocket going in to space, will still go up even if the Republicans get there way, just not as straight up to the sky as before. As for Obamacare, the main thing convincing young people not to sign up for it is that it greatly increases prices for them. Well that and the fact that many of them didn't want to pay for insurance in the first place. Higher minimum wages are basically "your not allowed to work if you skills are very low" laws. Unemployment benefits are pretty long as it is in most cases. Extended unemployment benefits do discourage the marginal worker from looking for jobs. If you can't get a good job after a year or 99 weeks (or 77 weeks which I think may be the current limit it hasn't stayed the same), then a crappy job is probably the new normal for you. If you can't get a crappy job in that much time then the payments or more welfare payments than they are unemployment insurance, whatever label they get. And none of those things have much to do with the "true meaning of Christmas, which is about charity and giving from what you have, not A stealing from B to give to C. --- More on food stamps Those "cuts" are from a rising baseline. Spending doesn't go down, at least not from legal changes. It may drop if the economy recovers, if not future spending will be higher than it is now. blog.heritage.org
