I have mixed feelings about this.
One on hand, we are all well aware of the abuses in the system. Those abuses need to be dealt with in no uncertain terms.
On the other hand, I know people having to apply for and accept food stamps. It is usually as a last resort. More often than not the need is precipitated by a life crisis. The last thing someone needs after losing a job, depleting their savings and worrying about how to put food on the table is the indignity of having to prove they are not users.
I’ve been watching the media report proposals as fact for about 30 years now.
your post is incoherent
what are you trying to say?
What percentage of those abuses are related to drug use? I suspect not much, so this won't do much of anything to halt what fraud there is in the system.
What is incoherent about it. I detect that you do not want to allow for anything contrary to the view you have espoused.
