“I just want to ask you one more question about this fuzzy math, Congresswoman, since you serve on the Budget Committee. The SNAP program is an entitlement program. What it means is, if you are eligible for food stamps, you receive them. Food stamps were critical in getting people over the hump in the recession. People sometimes reported that their only income was these food stamps. So, if you see block grant SNAP--and correct me if I am wrong--what that means is that no matter how bad the economy becomes--because we have a countercyclical economy if we get a recession or a depression-- and no matter how many people are eligible for food stamps, once you get your block grant, your some certain amount of money, and once that money runs out, then you will find yourself on a waiting list or not being served. Is that how you understand a ``block grant''?”
