... other prohibited purchases ...

AKA

WIC Approved foods

Yet again, we see the Left campaigning off the plates of the poor - making a mountain out of a mole hill to stay relevant.

I see this as helping welfare recipients stretch their check and help them eat well on limited funds -- like the rest of us do.

Solution: Get a job and get off of welfare. You’re welcome.

"Kanses (sic) Gov. Sam Brownback’s famous Arthur Laffer “petri dish” experiment, in which he slashed taxes and government programs in order to usher in a Republican free market economic utopia. The experiment looks like it’s blowing up the lab"

Time for said author to make an appointment with an ophthalmologist.

Quite an indictment of the Democrats. Oh, wait...

These same liberals have no problem with forcing local schools to have to deal with federal govt strings tied to money they receive from Uncle Sugar’s confiscations from taxpayers.

These same liberals have no problem forcing local cops to be highly regulated by govt strings when they take federal money.

These same liberals have no problems forcing charter schools and such to be regulated if they take state education money.

These same liberals have no problem forcing any small business who wants to deal with the federal government to have to deal with lots of strings if they receive business contracts.

These same liberals have no problem forcing any group they despise to be as highly regulated as possible at the slightest connection or dependence on government at any level.

Yet they cannot handle government having rules for what you can spend government charity money on. They can’t handle drug tests for welfare recipients, when the people working jobs that govt takes money from to give the welfare folks, have to take drug tests at their jobs, in order TO WORK.

I never thought I’d ever see hypocrisy get so bad in this country. It just shows how infected and warped it is when your worldview is liberal. Your foundation is marxism, communism, socialism, atheism. Your idea of fairness is bringing everyone down to the same level of suffering, not trying to improve and raise the lowest up. Fostering dependence and doing everything possible to keep people down, and bring more down.

Limiting withdrawals to $25 a day does not “help” poor people. Not everyone lives near an ATM, and this could require some people to make more than a dozen trips to the ATM each month. Also, the fees for each withdrawal could add up to 10% of more of their money each month. This is dehumanizing, and I think the Republicans in Kansas who did this ought to be ashamed of themselves.

The list of other prohibited purchases includes “herbs, spices, or seasonings,” all nuts, red and yellow potatoes, smoothies, spaghetti sauce, “soups, salsas, ketchup,” sauerkraut, pickles, dried beans sold in bulk, and white or albacore tuna.

Nuts, potatoes, dried beans, and tuna are all very nutritious foods. Shame on Scott Walker and other Wisconsin Republicans for banning them for food stamp recipients.

slashed taxes and government programs

Notice how they never give any details on what it means to "slash" government programs. That's because they aren't being cut by much at all.

Did this stand out to anyone else?

Yet legislators in Kansas, not trusting the poor to use their (emphasis added) money wisely,...

It isn't "their" money if they are on welfare. It belongs to the taxpayers who were forced to pay it to their government. And the government legislators elected by those taxpayers have the right to decide how those funds are to be used by those who receive them. With things come strings. If you don't like it, get a job and earn your keep. No one will bother you then about how you spend your money. (Except they'll force you to pay taxes.)

Funny. Looks like the liberal utopia of Maryland has similar restrictions on its WIC program - http://phpa.dhmh.maryland.gov/wic/docs/Vendor/2012%20Authorized%20Foods%20List-English.pdf
