I'm all for job creation(something Repukes seem to know nothing about) but I'm also for EBT/SNAP assistance for those who cannot afford food. What would Newt have these people do, starve?!?!

I think the food stamp program be expanded as much as possible. The unemployed, the underemployed, and even middle-class families who have trouble making ends meet should get SNAP assistance. No one should have to choose between paying their rent and buying food for their family.
