Actually, jails are filled with war on drugs non-violent "offenders". Rapist and murderers are minority of incarcerated population. Still, this is not the point. The point is that if you have strong social programs you have less crime of all kinds and have less need to incarcerate.

So again, cut food stamps -> increase crime -> more taxes to incarcerate.


That is a super progressive prediction. I have to say sorry
about the cut and paste comment, you can come up with your
own bullshit all by yourself.

Here is a prediction for you. The 40 billion will be cut
from the program over 10 YEARS. During those 10 YEARS the
economy will improve and move millions of people off the
program. This will mean billions not needed in the system.
The progressives will then need to go on to another subject
and cry foul.
