Yes I have. I worked at a large grocery store in HS and my fiance managed convenient stores that had a location next to section 8 housing. I know it is abused. but it is damn hard to abuse. What needs more restrictions is the cash that people get from the government.
Foodstamps you can only buy food with, cash you can buy anything. So the parent goes into the store buys mac and cheese for the kids dinner then uses "their cash side" of their food stamp card to buy cigs and booze.
We need to stop that.
Things we could have cut.
1) IRS
2) Military
3) DOE
4) CIA
5) FBI
6) Congressional office budgets
Not in any oreder
