Then why are we giving welfare handouts to the poor? They abuse EBT cards meant for buying food. Rather than enforce laws to target the public feeding the poor, target Washington to straighten out welfare laws. Set up food kitchens to feed the poor, don't just hand out cash that gets abused. I'd rather the poor get food on the streets than get insane cash handouts that are abused.
This is not new, there was some western states that stopped on the street feeding, and only those with licenses or non profit status could give out food.
Now, this new ‘stop feeding the homeless’ may be tied to the Food Safety Act of 2010, where only an approved commercial kitchen (govt approved)may give the homeless food...probably Mooch’s healthy approval like school lunches? (sarc)
