Not at all. The original post I had responded to claimed a multiplier to the economy from SNAP benefits of approximately 100% - 200%.

I merely pointed out that it's the same for any food dollars spent by anyone so has nothing at all to do with SNAP per se.

Then either the initial person, or perhaps some other brain dead feces thrower, chimes in saying SNAP actually generates $62 of value per dollar spent, apparently by including alleged positive effects years or decades out.

If you're going to include the good consequences years or decades out you have to subtract the bad. But not knowing how arithmetic works is classic ProGlib thinking.

That's why mamdani is going to provide free bus rides to all new yorkers next year. Because it's free. Just Like SNAP.
