I’m for it. I’ve seen plenty of people in grocery store lines using food stamps to buy food but they were obviously strung out on who knows what. For that matter I’ve seen em buy smokes and booze too.

Back when the foodstamps were paper, users could trade them - 2 for a dollar - to the dealers. (Don't ask me how I know that.) Now that they are in credit card form, it may be a little more difficult - but I'm sure it can be done.

My daughter and I were behind a lady in the grocery line yesterday who paid with a foodstamp card. She was loading groceries in a Jaguar when we walked out. I kid you not. If we must keep "welfare" - then I'm all for the drug testing.

This was not necessarily a food stamp benefit. In certain states, the "EBT" card is used to distribute various kinds of payments for services, such as foster care and guardianship.
