I support beans, rice and cheese for the desperately poor. No cash. No cards.

I don't think it's right for the government to tell people what they can and cannot eat -- but I don't want my money to be used to hand out goodies to people. The government needs to get out of the charity business, with the exception being minimal food distribution so that people don't starve.

Actually,microwaveable pot pies at less than $1 would be fine with me,but alcohol,tobacco,cable tv,etc. are not.

A more radical idea would be the elimination of the minimum wage AND welfare programs for American citizens and legal immigrants,coupled with mass deportation of all illegals.
