I agree that there are lots of items that shouldn’t be paid for by these benefits, and it can be easily controlled electronically. Just leave my canned vegetables alone. If I want steak today, I’ll have a bowl of cereal on another day. I can make that card stretch farther than the state can.
For those that are as reasonable as you, yes; but for those that are irresponsible, clamp down. I tend to think there are a whole lot more that are behaving irresponsibly under these programs than otherwise. But that’s a whole different matter. Thanks.
