“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.
