Awesome idea.
Amen, awesome idea. I’ve always felt there should be government stores in every city just for welfare recipients where there is a LIMITED stock of genuine food to be provided to each recipient. No cola or junk food or snacks or treats. You want those, buy them yourself. Just privatized stores tasked with providing wholesome food to those in need. Now, I’m not saying just beans and rice. I don’t have any problem giving people canned fruit and apple sauce and OJ and all manner of delicious real food. Just, no more going to KFC with your EBT or worse, hitting up the local liquor store and filling the kids with all the junk snacks from the candy and chips isle.
Trump. Could be the best president since the Civil War. Reagan was fabulous but Trump is just raising the bar.
No more grape soda and Doritos on my dime.
I’m good with it. I have no problem making poor people and their children (who I feel the sorriest for) eating right.
A canned chicken in every pot!

Interesting... In Vermont this is how the WIC program is administered ( at least when I lived there) Home delivery of milk, cereal etc... really cuts out the fraud. I will say it leads to some other logistic issues.. people calling up the WIC office saying they didn’t get their food or their neighbor stole it etc, but it is a better system..cost is in delivery method but if it’s canned food then it isn’t as difficult as milk and eggs and items that are perishable
Outstanding! Obviously the food stamp cards don’t work anymore because people can sell them for drugs, alcohol, etc. But it is much harder to trade food for drugs.
I think the U.S.A. is the only nation in the world where 300lb. people claim they are starving to death......
It’s worth a try, but I wonder whether transportation costs and servicing handicapped recipients might cost more than the saving from bulk purchasing.
Oh come on...how the Hell are they supposed to get their booze and drugs if you do it that way?
