They should also elimnate all restaurants, all snacks and candy and pastries, all luxury foodstuff (lobster, caviar, etc) and allow ONLY staple food items.
Make living on food stamps HARD and not easy. Basic instead of comfortable.
Provide incentive to make one’s own money.
USDA research done during the George W. Bush years showed that food stamp users allowed to get any grocery item included a smaller, not larger proportion of salted snack and soft drink products in their food orders. You are “fighting as though beating the air” as the bible puts it. Even bums on a budget are frugal, it turns out, and the overhead to do what you say you desire would be large.
hi X - hope all is well -…..had a cashier at an inner city grocery where i stopped one day exclaiming to the other cashier that she bought crab legs with her EBT card……infuriating
You are logical.
This is bribery for pulling a (D) lever in November.
The plan of the Alinsky/Trotsky/Lenin/Stalin/Che/Mao/Cloward & Piven and Obama is to force Communism via pushing people ONTO the Welfare rolls and then the only choice will be to allow Government to control 100% of the means of production.
When Government controls the bread and the lead, they win.
That’s why the Bolshevik Democrats are for all control to move to Government, so they can keep you hungry and defenseless.
Government hates the true independent, self-reliant, entreprenurial spirit (but it lives off it), it wants the DMV expanded 1,000,000 across every aspect of your life, including healthcare and schools, so the income crop of bureaucrats is dumbed down from Kindergarten through college to “beat the cowboy” out of you and make you submit to a gray, mediocre lifestyle.
“Fairness” distributed by Liberal elites and politicians who know better and do not have the same doctors, lawyers, food or carbon footprint than you do, you must abide, they do not have to.
My conclusion is that Communism is really just Capitalism to the ultimate extreme where products and services being freely bought and sold isn’t the model, it’s creating the ONLY OPTION via force; e.g. taxation, regualation, fees and permits that the true 1% of 1% enforce, the Nomanklatura (Obama, Reid, Soros, Buffett, Clinton, etc) enjoy.
A mini-fiefdom of Fascism, that eliminates all competiton by brute Government force (law) to squash the individual.
