He is much nicer than I am.

This won’t work. It’s based on common sense.

Alfed, you da MAN!!! Nothing more need be said. If you want our money, our rules!
PRISONERS IN PENITENTIARIES AND JAILS.
You see, it just is not practical or even possible to prevent the drugs and paraphernalia from getting into these SECURE(?) facilities.
Not a conservative solution:
“just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away.”
Why unlimited amounts of these staples? Price? Nutritional value? Becoming food police is leftist. Conservatives need to solve the problem, not perpetuate it.
“The first thing I’d do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations.”
Abortifacient drugs and birth control are not conservative. Neither is coercion to use them.
“If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, smoke or get tats and piercings, then get a job.”
Reproduction is normative in marriage, not otherwise. Job and economic status are no basis for government intrusion into the marriage bed. Society does have an interest in encouraging and preserving the traditional family model. This does not include sterilization, forced abortion, or intrusion into areas that should be private. Is this how we solved the challenges of the great depression? No. A lot of babies were born to parents needing public assistance.
And who exactly is going to check for these tattoos? The TSA? No, there is no risk of abuse and exploitation there. /s
Just remember, all of these solutions the author wants to be in charge of, will be implemented by government workers who may fail to carry out their duties properly or even use their positions for exploitation. Have you ever heard about the U.N. workers who distribute food to the poor, and how they have exploited the desperation of starving people to use the women and children for sex?
“Your ‘home’ will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried.”
The author thinks the bureaucratic and cost problems of public housing will be resolved by an army of government inspectors? Unworkable.
“Before you write that I’ve violated someone’s rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules.”
The author has accepted the leftists goal: now that people are dependent on government assistance to survive, any kind of draconian rules are now acceptable.
I’m sure the author means well, but so do most leftists. Ball this proposal up, throw it in the garbage and try again.

Here’s a link to all retail outlets in the country that accept food stamps and the food stamp money funneled through each store.
One of the myriad of problems with food stamps is that they do go through retail channels instead of through government or pantry situations.
Retailers mark-up, profit on their sales of food. Stores profit margins per item can go from a low of @ 30% to as high as 70% (depending on the product and department)
So the food stamp cost is not putting the full value of food to the recipients- it’s steering money into retailers as profit - taxpayer funded profit margins.
