Yes, he did say that.
Every time the GOP nominates a RINO, pits him against a contemporary leftist Democrat, and the RINO (inevitably) loses, a little bit of me dies / an angel has one if its wings ripped off at the root by a shrieking hellish demon, who then rubs salt and lemon into the bloody stump wound.

Food stamps, soon to resemble the 20s Reich-mark.
If we collect the money from you, dip our beaks and then give some of it back to you and buy votes with the rest it’s better for the economy than if we just didn’t collect the money in the first place and left it with you. Because you won’t spend money until we’ve taken it from you and given only part of it back months later. Science.
Every time [you do X] an angel gets new baby-seal slippers. —a wag at my company
Did none of the reporters ask him what non-foodstamp people do with their ‘significant’ discretionary income, if they’re not spending it immediately? I’ll bet those losers put it in a bank or a mutual fund, where it just sits there doing nothing at all* for the economy.

When I’m Emperor, any district that sends a tool like Hoyer to represent them gets nuked from orbit. ‘Tis the only way to be sure.

My household bookkeeping shows food prices trending upward, along with fuel prices including power for our homes.
Weimar Republik isn’t too far wrong.
My gramps used to say that you took your money to the store in a wheelbarrow and brought your groceries home in your coin purse. He had half-pfennig notes too.
It’s the leftist fantasy that people buying groceries is what makes an economy great,
againstill.Squid, I am having a hard time believing Steny (“Most economists with whom I talk….”) Hoyer has ever had a conversation with an actual economist. Or if he did, he fundamentally misunderstood what s/he was saying.
If you have a nickel in your pocket it’s because the government let you keep it, so be grateful.
Or better yet, pay extra to get “grass fed” beef.
We are too fucking stupid to survive.
Ranchers are getting their cattle to market early this year since there is just about no grass and they are having to feed-out their cattle. Get ye a chest freezer and stock up!
If it weren’t for the government, that nickel wouldn’t exist, and you never could have “earned” it (chuckle) in the first place.
