...what would happen if our benevolent Gummamint would set up a bunch of “Feeding Stations”? Give food to everyone who wanted it.

They already do that, called food banks.

Populated mostly with non citizens, many that don't speak English and many over weight also.

There is also a clinic, brand new...must have cost millions it's giant...and most of the clients are I am sure not citizens of the USA.

They have a lot of the new state of the art equipment.

Most, if not all, of the employees speak Spanish. Most signs are in Spanish, some in English.

Much more Spanish spoken there than English.

If the clinic wasn't so lavish, you would think you were in Mexico.

I realize that and agree with what you said. The true thrust of my question was the complete dismantalization of the “Food Stamp” program. It’s stated purpose is to provide nutrition to people in need. The article is pointing to a huge nation wide problem. That problem is that many (not all) SNAP recipients trade thier benefits for (actual) money to purchase other goods (many times for drugs, alcohol, etc.). If people are “Going hungry”, then feed them, don’t give them a “benefit” which is so often and easily misused and abused.
