Did you see the recent thread about Soros’ JPMorgan getting their cut on every EBT transaction?
I read somewhere that only about 25% of welfare spending reaches the end-user (I wish I could say “poor” there), I guess I never thought about how much of that 25% might be skimmed off as “processing”.
I say we either go to WW2 type ration books (picked up monthly, bring your whole family) or we just abolish all welfare programs and just hand out cash. Cut out all the middle men. (Not really an improvement but imagine if we saved 50% of that overhead for the taxpayers)
