here is an idea, lets stop giving free money to people that don’t work and lets make food stamps good for milk, bread, peanut butter, and baby formula only.

A few years back IIRC someone made an assertion that the following would provide all the nutrients necessary: milk, brown rice, red beans, bananas, and a 5th item I can't recall just now. I'd throw in some bread, peanut butter, and gubmint cheese. And formula.

The able-bodied could sweep streets and pick up trash for anything more, although they should be working.

Every Tuesday I drive by a free food distribution warehouse, 80% of the cars parked there I couldn't afford, and the other 19% are in decent shape. Certainly, if they can make payments on a Cadillac CTS they can buy their own meat.

There are not that many veterans or military to compete with the Takers.

Less than 1% of current Americans serve, and less than 3% of living Americans have ever served.

Meanwhile, there are 49 Million Takers alone who have SNAP cards.

Our cowardly politicians have done the political math.
