People don't just get food stamps because they're too lazy to work. That's a political talking point and very little of those are very true. Are there exceptions? Yeah, naturally. There have also been monkey's and gorillas capable of sign language. It's just not normal.

In my area they busted 30 some people recently who were found to be defrauding the program and that took a year to uncover. So yes, there are abusers.

I was being evicted and about to live in a men's shelter, so yeah I needed it. I got $200 a month and spend only $150 a month on food, still. My EBT card now has about $500 on it that is still mine to spend until it's down to zero, that's just how it works.

The simple fact is that in NY state, if you earn less than 120% of poverty level, then you qualify for food stamps and you should be using them. All I sent them was some affiliate pay stubs plus my monthly expenses and they hooked me up within a few days. Hell, just APPLYING will get you a card in the mail and they adjust it later.

I do think the program needs some serious retooling, but I would never get rid of it, not ever. And trying to tell people something is more "healthy" is only going to get you sued when that person dies when you "told them it was healthy".. lawsuit city. But I would support plans like such and such percent should be fresh produce or meats and ban sodas etc. It would also be OK with me if they even had a simple approved list. Or support a coupon program. And make it easier to get off them too. They kept refilling my card for months after I told them I was making too much money. There should be a ramp up, and ramp down for food stamps.

Harmon: What are you talking about? I didn't edit that post. And yes I am passionate. Weird is as weird does my momma never said.
