People who spend $5 a day(or more)on cigarettes,and a like amount for beer ,shouldn’t be getting so much public assistance.You want me to pay your rent and health care then you are going to have to give up PROVEN unhealthy habits.
This is why grocery store chains, for example, lobby heavily to expand the eligibility for food stamps, and to increase funding for them.
If I were dictator, there would be public housing and government supplied food, rather than food stamps etc. Enjoy your rolled oats. When you earn enough to get out you might be able to get a bag of Doritos and a Big Mac, but not until then.
