I wonder if this will have the same stipulations attached to it as food stamps & other benefits, ie. no tobacco or alchohol can be purchased with it. It would be nice, but I don't expect anyone who works for the gummint to actually have a good idea. The no-tobacco-or-alchohol mandate never stopped any of the alchoholics and crackheads that I've met. They would trade an equal amount of benefits for cash (or a little less) and buy their goodies that way.
I really don't know ..
Are there people that abuse a good thing??
Yes, there are people like that every where
But there are also a lot of good folks who won't abuse the money given to them
