My interpretation says he's hitting the sauce again.....

Your math is good. And the amounts are fictitious. Lets get the numbers more in line with reality. The basic average guideline for the food stamp program will show that an average family of 4 can expect an amount up to $500 per month for food stamps. This figure will greatly vary based on the age of the family members and medical needs. A single person household will show an expected average of up to $200 per month. Again, these figures are averages and not state specific.

Cash allowance benefits for financial assistance will also be state regulated and allowances paid will also vary based on different criteria. However, an average expectation can be placed on a family of 4 receiving up to $900 for their TANF allowance. A single person household can expect an average of up to $300.

Now do your math.....

Maybe a little black whip.

Who said anything about food stamps (a program rife with fraud)?  The assertion was that no one on public assistance would have a tax obligation.  Un-employment is public assistance and, is considered taxable income.  The figures I outlined are in line with reality for a single filer.  I know several people who match the given illustration.  One such person explained to me recently that she could have taken a job but, she would only clear about 100.00 more a week than she was already getting so, why get out of bed for that?

You would think that the dems would be in favor of halting further extensions of un-employment.  Once you are off the un-employment rolls you are no longer counted as unemployed, plus most of those folks might actually work at finding a job, both of which would lower the unemployment rate.  Then Obama could boast and brag some more!
