My stimulus plan includes legalizing theft. Crooks will spend every dollar stolen, because as they say easy come easy go. The multiplier will ripple through the economy and we will all soon be fantastically wealthy. And my plan is even better, because there is no middleman bureaurat. Woohoo!!!
So it breaks down to two camps with a very marginal difference between them:
1) Fuck stimulus, I want a check.
2) Fuck taxes and the government.
Fair enough.
So expanding food stamps and unemployment benefits is akin to breaking windows?

Not really. The point is that taxing and spending is not a stimulus package. Taking from one area to spend in another does no good and bureucracy in between is a complete drain on productivity. Utility value is lost as well because the spending is not chosen freely.
Basically, fuck taxes and the government. No?
I understand your position. I simply disagree with it but that argument ends up at a disagreement over "fairness" and we can just agree to disagree without the dog and pony show.
Having said that, there is no disputing that some form of stimulus package is going to be passed. That being the case, I would prefer that the stimulus package maximize the potential overall stimulus.
