Let's See Rethuglicans Eat on Three Dollars a Day
This is the kind of thing network news used to do every day of the week. The kind of thing the lack of which has been a huge factor in the destruction of our national discourse. The kind of thing we desperately need to stop our rapid plummet into a Randian dystopia.

And the next time some teabagger starts bitching about food stamps, tell him to show you how he would shop for food based on $3.33 per person per day.
Then tell him that every dollar the government spends on food stamps gets spent right away, generating more than two dollars in immediate economic stimulus. Want to get the economy rolling again, creating jobs? Double food stamp allotments now.
