I guess I have believed the stories that you can get lobster and cigarettes with EBT and stamps so this seems appealing. I must be wrong
The federal gov acquiring, packaging, shipping, and distributing food to every town in the country should solve the waste, fraud, and abuse for sure.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Churches, Meals on wheels, food banks, shelters etc. Not that difficult logistically for the vast number of recipients

in the end, EMAW will always win.
I love the "control the poor" argument. It's our money and we are GIVING it to the less fortunate. I'm not a fan of my hard earned tax dollars being spent on booze, cigarettes and 44 oz big gulps. Food stamps were meant as a way to FEED the poor....hence the "Food" part. Anything that would provide FOOD to the needy I'm all for.

It is definitely awesome that kids go hungry so we prove a point about responsibility to their insufficiently grateful parents.

I've said it before I don't mind losing some efficiency in the process if it results in more balanced meals for families.
