75% is an interesting figure because that is the approximate rate of EBT card users whom I observe in the supermarket check-out line either buying food I can’t afford, driving away in cars I can’t afford or (most often) both.
It’s a gut figure to be sure. I realize there are people who need relief due to infirmary or something out of their control.
Whatever this groups comprises, be it 5% or 25%, the rest need to be weened off the government spigot. Cut the amount by 5% each month. In twenty months these folks need to find a way to support themselves.
In truth, if they cut it by 2.5% per month, that would still mean that in two years 50% of the greater welfare costs would be gone. In four 100% of the greater welfare would be gone.
Even in one year, over 25% would be gone. Not bad at all...
