50. Is there some present condition that indicates that the stimulus dollars should end earlier than
previously anticipated?

What is it that changed to revise need downward.

We understand exactly what is going on and no one has a real answer just twisting. The Bush tax cuts were not cut off early despite adding truly huge numbers to the deficit with no discernible benefit.

Is need trending down? Is there less need than anticipated? Is the economy on a trajectory that indicates a big improvement in conditions?

Nope, I don't see it. I see a program that is underresourced and unable to keep up with the ever increasing need that is being used as the catch all fund. Need education dollars? Take it out of food stamps. Need money for Michelle's pet project? Take it out of food stamps.

Then we are advised that we'll fix it later.
Well, which is it the program doesn't need the resources or are you taking a gamble on hungry Americans to placate the Reich?
