Nice, but the amount of money going to the poor is miniscule compared to the ripoff of the middle class by the bankers and wall street lottery.

Name and photo? Excellent! Exact address? Possibly a bad idea.

Lewiston is full of Somalis who disproportionately use welfare benefits. The refugee industry would be embarrassed if all those names were published.

Do you know how much SNAP and TANF, just two programs, cost every year?

I’m all for publishing the names.
Addresses... IMHO, that is a bad idea. Too many crazies these days, and they aren’t ALL on the left.
And I think they should do away with the debit card welfare payment system. Should issue actual food stamps like they used to

Damn good idea! The time has come to clean out the crap and help the real needy. Bet the illegals will not be reported or will be reported as citizens.

Can’t be done.
We’ll start with HIPAA, since welfare, many times, has a medical coverage aspect to it...

Last winter an incredibly expensively dressed Indian couple was in front of me in line at Wal-Mart. They were wearing leather coats and carrying designer leather bags. The were wearing expensive looking jewelry. (I used to own a jewelry manufacturing company. It was good stuff.) They paid with an EBT card. I doubt you could embarrass them, but by all means its worth a try.
