Unless you know someone’s circumstances, don’t judge them.
And if people don’t do what you prefer, its a free country.
How someone lives their life isn’t for you to decide.
Not for much longer.
How someone lives their life isn’t for you to decide.
Nope, it's now the government's decision.
“How someone lives their life isn’t for you to decide.”

I’m against Gubbermint telling you how to live your life just as much as you are, but I also see (daily) a lot of sloth and abuse. I don’t live in the best neighborhood. Lots of able bodied people not even attempting to go look for work. People on public assistance for 10+ years. Quite a few homeless. A lot of these people choose (through their life choices) to live this way.
I work 12+ hour days most days. It’s disheartening to see what I see almost every day.

This is true right up until someone starts spending someone else's money. If I loan or give someone else money, I can indeed demand terms and/or refuse them that money if they don't spend it the way I like. People who use EBT cards are, by definition, spending someone else's money, so, yes, how they spend that money is indeed for me (as a taxpayer) to decide.
If they don't like the terms, they are free to get money elsewhere.
By his own admission, he was abusing it. And as in this article, the guy was using EBT for what could be deemed non-essentials. I have no problem with WIC et al. Milk, veggies, bread, etc. But Twinkies? Nope.
