There are plenty of people cheating and using loopholes as is from fake homeless people making $20 an hour to ceos. Thats what got us in this budget mess. I could care less if a struggling college student gets food stamps.
What I care about more is fixing the food stamp system back to where they issue out actual stamps instead of the Credit cards so you're embarrased as shit using them. They should also limit them to actual food instead of redbull, candy and expensive steaks. Also you shouldnt be able to use them at farmers markets and whole food stores. They should be limited to stores like Costco/Lucky/Safeway. If you want to eat your cherry garcia and enjoy your 30$ new york steak, you better not put it on the taxpayers tab.
Anyone caught abusing the system should have to do community service at a shelter and see people first hand that actually need that money.
