Exactly. I’ve seen 10 packages of frozen PBJ sandwiches on white bread bought on food stamps. What the idiot spent on this luxury item could have bought a months worth of bread, peanut butter and a jar of jelly. Of course, the frozen PBJ had the crust cut off.

It’s laziness, pure and simple. Go back to limiting the the of purchases that can be made through food stamps and some of that obesity would fall to the wayside.

I agree completely. Food stamps should be limited to such staples as flour, milk, eggs, maybe a little cheese, and little else.

Do you realize food stamps can be used to buy candy and soda and evan can be used in restaurants. Last Valentine’s Day the local CVS had a big banner advertising boxes of Russell Stover candy that could be ‘bought’ with food stamps.

You're right. Reagan said that you get more of what you subsidize.
