Moronic low intelligence EBT recipients, or drug addled, are illegally selling or trading the food benefits intended for their impoverished children instead of feeding them. We are trying to fix this by providing the same food coverage 2 or 3x over from different directions, in hope that SOME food slips through to the actual hungry kids. Parents get food stamps, kids get free meals at school, even on snow days. Extra backpacks of food sent home to cover hunger over the weekends and summer vacation has schools keeping their food services open to provide meals all Summer even if kids not is Summer school and school not in session.
The child doesn’t know where his next meal is coming from, but his mother has braids that cost hundreds and nails that cost another one hundred.
The problem isn’t a lack of money. The problem is mom’s poor judgment in setting priorities, and money management, with a heaping dose of pure selfishness thrown in the mix. Mom has the money and she spends it on herself because the gubmint pays for her kid’s lunch.
