Cutting Entitlements should be as incremental as Expanding Entitlements.
First, make sure no Illegal Invaders get a dime of Taxpayer Funded Welfare Programs including the EITC scam.
Second, attack the Fraud and Waste these type of Programs create. The idea of just mailing a Check to someone and not checking on how that Taxpayer Money is spent is outrageous.
Third, consolidate the ridiculous amount of Programs into something that reduces all the costs and waste in using overlapping Agencies.
Fourth, create a Free Economy that produces Jobs so people don’t depend on the Government to sustain themselves. Stop making Welfare more profitable than having a Job.
Well, it’s a start.
As my Dear Late Mother always said, you help People who CAN’T help themselves, not People who WON’T help themselves.
“Cutting Entitlements should be as incremental as Expanding Entitlements.’
Food Stamps should only be used in four places in a grocery store
1. The produce area
2. Dairy (Except deli)
3. Fresh meats (Except deli)
4. Soaps and cleansers - both personal and household
No soda, no packaged foods, no canned foods, no frozen foods, no diapers, no chips or snacks. Nope, not even bread, or pasta. If they want those things get a job. If they want a starch buy potatoes, taro or pumpkins.
Please note I am not a health food advocate but if the poor are going to spend MY taxes to purchase food they are not going to buy junk.
This would not directly save any money but would eliminate the wasteful ways that food stamps are used and by default create a healthier eating culture.
