“There is fraud but Republicans have no business playing food police.”
Okay, who else is going to police the fraud?
“If Battin wants to keep junk food off people’s tables, let him set the example for his own family.”
It’s not about “junk food”, it’s about fraud. If people are buying “junk food” with these benefits, they obviously don’t need the benefits.
“And keep his nose out of other people’s shopping decisions. I hate fascist bullies, whether they’re on the Left or on the Right.”
When people applied for public assistance in this area, they made their shopping decisions the public’s business. This is not “fascism”, this is our elected representatives trying to be good stewards of the public purse that they are entrusted with.
“I don’t like government managing my personal life for me.”
Then rely on yourself and don’t come begging at the government’s doorstep.
Then don’t complain when Michelle Obama tells your middle class kids what to eat.
Its the public’s money, its the government’s business.
