Your sarky and condescending parent comment made it clear that you believe the US government is useless and should be abolished. As you did not propose any alternative support systems, this would mean starvation for those on food stamps.
That's not a strawman, comrade - that's called a logical conclusion.
For your information, I don't think government should be abolished, I'm rather a partisan of small-government more than anything else. The government still has some roles to take care of, but I am certainly not a big fan of government-sponsored welfare and I have provided you with some material to read to further understand my point of view.
I don't really know why you focus so much on food stamps (which I never mentioned - that's why I called your comment a strawman- i.e. "informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position" which is exactly the case here), and do not focus on any of the points I raised in my first comment above. If you don't even bother making a point...
