"So are you saying there are to be no restrictions on how you spend "your" money on food. Really? What about liquor? Cigarettes? That OK?"
Don't drink. Don't smoke. Also, when it's transferred to me, it IS my money. (However, I suppose that's another example of my attitude which, as you've so elegantly stated in another post, "sucks".)
However, for the sake of argument (and this one is really getting tiresome), I can spend food stamp dollars on whatever foodstuffs I want ...
... until the law is changed ...
... so, if you don't like it, CHANGE THE LAW!!

Everyone here knows the law allows you to have that money. No one has argued that with you. The entire point of this discussion is that weather that law is consistent with "conservative" principles.
You seem to have trouble distinguishing between the two ideas.
You've said you're "entitled" to this money, and that indicates to us that your "conservatism" is suspect.
