Goal #1: Stop rewarding people for popping out babies.
Goal #2: Only basic staple food can be bought with food stamps. No cash back. Ever

I like the idea of only giving out boxes of food instead of EBT cards, etc. Let them go to the local Food Banks on their assigned day & get FOOD....not a license to steal.

Using EBT cards at Casinos & strip joints is really rotten.

If a person on food stamps gets cash back, abuse is happening. The food stamps are not physical stamps. The food stamp amount is stored on an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, like a debit card. When the user buys food the amount is debited from their card immediately.

I agree with you about only staple food being eligible, but who determines the definition of basic staple food?

No matter how it is handed out, a significant percentage of recipients of the freebies will always sell the (stamps/cards/food/whatever) at a discount to others, so that the hand-outs are thus converted to cash (usually finding its way to the nearest drug dealer in short order). We merely streamlined and normalized the process by putting it into cards.

Welfare subsidizes bad conduct. Why not subsidize stable, two parent families?
