It is ridiculous how abused these programs are.
SNAP, EBT and whatever else there is allows people on them to buy anything.
This is not right nor is it the original intent of the programs.
It needs to be stopped and right now.

Oh...and get illegals off the programs too.

Any socialistic program has such intent. Original state intent is always a joke.

Remember the insistence by the left that abortion was to be “safe, legal and rare”?

(allows people on them to buy anything)

Not quite. At Walmart (here in the Midwest) the registers are programmed with allowed foods - the benefits work on allowed items but will leave a remaining balance for items not allowed. Of course that doesn’t stop the thieves.

I’m not on these programs but I have seen the disallowed food items not be paid.

I believe it’s the same at all of the grocery stores in my area.
