Liberals would love it if it was Obama’s idea.
Welfare recipients take out cash at strip clubs, liquor stores and X-rated shops
“They’re on the dole — and watching the pole.”
“Welfare recipients took out cash at bars, liquor stores, X-rated video shops, hookah parlors and even strip clubs — where they presumably spent their taxpayer money on lap dances rather than diapers, a Post investigation found.”
A database of 200 million Electronic Benefit Transfer records from January 2011 to July 2012, obtained by The Post through a Freedom of Information request, showed welfare recipients using their EBT cards to make dozens of cash withdrawals at ATMs inside Hank’s Saloon in Brooklyn; the Blue Door Video porn shop in the East Village; The Anchor, a sleek SoHo lounge; the Patriot Saloon in TriBeCa; and Drinks Galore, a liquor distributor in The Bronx.
This is absolutely awful! Obviously DJT has not thought this through. Can you imagine the horrid impact not having food stamps to trade for cash to by drugs will have on the inner city feral population? Drug dealers will fall un hard times, jewelry shops will suffer when no one buys bling, pimps will be impacted by not being able to drug up their gals. Oh the humanity!
Can’t cash food in for drugs and bling.
It was never about winning the "War on Poverty." It was all about keeping blacks on the plantation so they would vote for them.
And it has worked very well.

You want to see liberal food anger, check out this current post on DU.

(Warning - Language Alert. It is DU, a lot of swearing over there in liberal land.)
Great stuff, that cheese.
I bet if they used that stuff they ate in “The Matrix”, you’d see a lot fewer folks requiring assistance.
I remember going to a friend’s house and they had this huge can of peanut butter, coffee can size. I thought that was the best peanut butter I ever ate, in my mind it still is! I went home and told my mother she needed to get that kind.
I had no idea my friend’s family was getting the government food. No one ever said anything, I just noticed they had different food than the rest of us.
The goal of the Democrats is to bring as more people on board using government support, not to make more people self-sufficient.

You are right of course. Getting dressed and going to the Walmart and walking around is work! Who wants to go to that trouble?
Because it lessens their power.
It’s a different type of Welfare. Some people get money to use as they see fit, similar to EITC
[Tat Government cheese made the best Mac-n-cheese...]
and APPLE CHEESE CRISP. My grade school had the BEST apple cheese crisp. If we were “clean platers” the teacher would give us Apple Cheese Crisp from the students’ plates that didn’t eat theirs. LOL
I wish they would bring it back. Have you seen the price of Cheese lately ?
Politics is promising the same thing over and over, while producing no results.
Because they're talking about the government purchasing, storing, packaging, and distributing food parcels. When was the last time the government ever did anything in an efficient and cost-effective manner? This dumb idea will just add to the costs.
I love it when Trump enrages liberals. It seems to happen every day.
