The automatic stabilizer is unemployment insurance, food stamps, additional coverage of Medicaid.

The eligibility for food stamps has widened and widened; welfare has been widened - unemployment insurance and disability insurance. These are all incentives not to work.

They advertise on the radio for food stamps!

I was on food stamps until I was 18 and became an adult.

Food stamps are an investment in our future.

Programs like food stamps, unemployment insurance, Medicaid, and job retraining help Americans get back on their feet when they are down and out and laid off through no fault of their own.
