Hmm.
Government not wasting time nitpicking which food people buy, and in fact not "wasting time" nitpicking what people buy, period, with EBT cards, is exactly why EBT card waste is so widespread.
You seem to be arguing out of both sides of your mouth here.
No, I’m not.
People should not be able to use welfare for anything and everything. They should be able to use it on food. That is a fairly clear distinction.
I just don’t think we need bureaucrats monitoring what anybody is eating. I don’t think the government needs to be that empowered.
Honestly, I don’t think it’d be long before the government decides we all need monitoring, for our own good and because they need to control healthcare costs. Michelle’s gestapo. They’d already have the bureaucrats for it ... since they’ve been monitoring the “vulnerable” welfare brats.
And, all the stupid welfare brats would vote for it because, “why not monitor the rich like you’re monitoring us?”
More over-empowered buraucrats digging deeper in more people’s lives is just a bad idea. Monitor for fraud or misuse ... not bad diet.
