Gingrich Dismantles Pelosi's Liberal Math on Food Stamps

Read Newt's memo here: http://bit.ly/ctJ0v0.

Speaker Pelosi claims that food stamps stimulate the economy, but what's her strategy to actually create jobs and get people off of food stamps? Does she really want to continue with the policies that have led to record level food stamp usage?

The choice in November is this: Which party will deliver more paychecks and which party will deliver more food stamps?

Inflation inflation inflation. People were making one dollar an hour which was worth a LOT more back then. It was a higher percentage of their employer's income. Do you not know what inflation is?

@Luminareo You say that "minimum wage was ten bucks back in the fifties" man, that is the dumbest thing i heard all month, people in the fifties were making like a $1.00 an hour if that. Please don't ever vote, your to stupid. Let me guess you were raised by a single mother and you think the world owes you something.

@Tsugua21

Always this argument. Firstly, I do pay more taxes. Secondly, I need you to pay higher taxes too. I'm not building your roads alone. Adjusting for inflation, minimum wage was ten bucks back in the fifties. You know, when USA was on the rise and all. Unemployment is high and going down despite Bush's best efforts.

Also, I live in Canada.

@Luminareo Since you like higher taxes so much, why don't you pay more taxes. Unemployment is a ridiculous 8.5% and minimum wage is as high as it's ever been $7.25. Liberals like you are going to ruin this country, if you like socialism so much why don't you move to France.

When was America financially successful?

When we had a higher minimum wage (inflation) and higher spending/taxes. Look it up.

Newt is brilliant

I love NEWT......."LET EM CAKE NEWT" should be the new campaign slogan. Bring it on Newt. The free market can't come down fast enough for you. The fact is NEWT people don't work when they don't get welfare. THEY PROTEST thank God. So go ahead put this idiot in lol ha ha. Hope that the economy doesn't go any further down hill Newt. Lots more protesters means good bye free market dictators.

@sunandmoon111 End Minimum wage and affirmative action and the jobs will comeback. Lower taxes and cut government spending and the jobs will comeback.

[sunandmoon111]

sounds all well and good, but No matter how much we lower taxes, and strip away "job killing" regulations , its really up to the businesses on whether they hire or not, and why would they, if they can get labor cheaper in 3rd world countries. Newt is not being honest. He should tell the American people that a huge chunk of the middle class is going bye bye, and there will not be enough good paying jobs for everyone. No political party or congressional bill can fix that. The damage is done.

@BBCater If you went to a Pelosi rally and said "Thanks Nancy - but can I just do it myself?" She would probably have a coronary episode. I mean, this woman actually BELIEVES that an unemployment check CREATES growth. You simply can't negotiate with someone who is that patently stupid. If you take a dollar from me and give it to someone else, and that person IMMEDIATELY spends the dollar... did the economy grow? Did that dollar just become $1.70 because it was spent? Imbecilic.
