I actually liked your post a lot better than I’ve liked most.

The cards are debit cards for cash.

Not all of them are, which was my point.

Sorry senator Collins but food stamps have been turned into a giant bad joke as millions and millions of people now get them.
And many are able bodied and capable of working. You remember “work?” It’s a great concept. Makes for happy prosperous people. People who do t have to beg Obama’s trolls to put them on the dole. If you have needy people in Maine then take care of them in Maine Free food is not a federal function.

Now food stamps and welfare are for artists and others who will then be able to devote time to their endeavors without starving. Just ask Pelosi

What she is really saying is it would cut to deeply into her cut of the money.

I thought they were .. OK

How, then .. does the non-cash card work ?

If a person is only getting food stamps(SNAP), there is no cash availability. But someone who is getting both food stamps and welfare(SNAP and TANF,) does have cash availability on the welfare (TANF) portion.

Instead of attacking the slash in benefits why doesn't this dim bulb attack the administration bureaucrats' utter failure to winnow the un-needy out of the dole roles?

How about spot-investigating the recipients....and then PROSECUTING the fraudsters?Collins is so dumb that when she went to buy a color TV I'll bet she asked the clerk what colors they come in.

I can’t ask pelosi. Her staff said they won’t answer any inquiries or letters unless your name is on their contributors list. This when she was majority leader and thus in a position to impact the entire nation ( such as “you’ll fi d out what’s in it after we pass it” commiecare. ).
