Why go through all the extra administrative expense? They should have to live just like the rest of us do. There is a certain amount of $$ for groceries per month. You can eat steak & lobster a couple of days and ramen noodles the rest of the month or shop frugally.
We already feed their children 2 meals a day at school. That’s more than we get.
Who cares what they eat? When the grocery money is gone it’s gone. Unless the government thinks that poor people are just dumber than the rest of us.
There should be no incentive to go on a “shopping/eating spree” once a month when living like this on the taxpayer dime. Move off this program to enjoy such benefits.
I have mentioned before that I am a triage interviewer at a local food/clothing/etc. bank.
Most of the time when a client wants food and I ask why the response is, "My food stamps ran out."
Well, if you're gonna spend your food stamps on chips, soda and junk the stamps are gonna run out. Food stamps are supposed to be used to buy healthy food.
SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
Supplemental... that's important. Stamps are not meant to supply primary nutrition.
The program is crawling with fraud and needs to be reformed.
