New Name for Food Stamps

The U.S. government wants to give food stamps a new name after phasing out paper coupons in favor of plastic cards that work like ordinary credit cards. "Americans can suggest a new name -- or argue to keep the current one -- until Aug. 23." We suggest a name change to either "The National Supplement for Improved Sustenance and Alimentation for the Disadvantaged and Undernourished Program," or the more simple "CrediChow." Any ideas?
