Quote of the Day From Tom Vilsack

You can't make this stuff up, folks.

Here is Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack explaining how having more people on food stamps is good for the economy.

So here is my economic formula for recovery: We make sure everybody in the country qualifies for food stamps (by taxing them to death), make sure "the word gets out", then, when the whole country is on food stamps, the economy will be like going like gangbusters.

And it will be a boon to our railways too.
