Who said anything about beer and cigarettes, or face lifts and boob jobs? We’re talking about pies.
The question is whether we should bother monitoring the dinner menu of welfare queens. When people are using them on booze, cigarettes, drugs, or to pay their hooker ... there are certainly bigger problems than too much dessert.
This is more trouble than its worth. We have the power to do this ... but sometimes we’re all better off if the government doesn’t exercise every power they have. Use the money on drug testing instead.

In Massachusetts, we've recently had a big brou-ha-ha over EBT cards being used for beer, cigs, strippers, manicures, etc., etc., etc. like you wouldn't imagine. Even our Democrat super-majority General Court tried to curtail the abuse, and our p-o-s Governor actually fought his own party against some of the reforms - the ones he felt were too harsh for the gimme crowd.
So in essence, we kind of are talking about beer, cigarettes, face lifts, boob jobs, and yes, pies. Luxury items, in other words. And what this lady is saying is hey, I make a luxury item. If you're on EBT, you shouldn't be buying my stuff on the taxpayer's dime.
