Way to gain support with those who already think we are too purist. Attempt to cut off funding to those in the most need. I am sure Harry Reid will go along with that. How about a more moderate proposal? Propose drug testing EBT recipients. If I have to be subject to drug testing to earn a paycheck much of which goes to the government to pay for their EBT, why shouldn’t they have to be subject to drug testing to receive my money? Seems much more reasonable and sets up a better political argument. If they are truly need of my assistance to pay for their food, then so be it. Happy to help. If they are using my money to buy drugs, that’s a different ball game. Much better argument than let the poor starve.

I really don't give a rats butt. We are not getting their vote anyway. Maybe, Obama and the Democrats will share some of the blame when the cards stop working. You know, president in power when things stop working....

EBT cards are WAY TOO EASY. Get rid of them. The soup line proposal is good, too. We can't afford the excessiveness and as the President said, vote for revenge... he didn't say who would be getting the revenge.
