Another thing. The Food Stamp program does not transfer wealth from the rich to the poor. Instead, it transfers wealth from the middle-class to the rich people who own the corrupt agribusiness corporations. This policy also harms small independent farmers.
EBT is raising the price of meat because, even in the 70’s when I was a bagboy, the food stamp users bought the most expensive meats. Most cash buyers bought cheaper cuts.
No, I don’t object to poor people eating meat. But when I was poor; when my mother was poor, we ate hamburger. Why should you and I pay to have people who, in my experience, simply don’t want to work... eat steak?
The EBT people are using food stamp purchased goods to resell for cash so they have money for alcohol, cigarettes and drugs. I know this from a renter I had.
