You shouldn't be able to buy loads of junk food with your EBT card. It makes sense, that should be for necessities.

Who hurt you? You really think that people are just loading up on chips and candy? And, if so, what business is it of yours? As someone who is actually using this incredible assistance program, I can attest to the fact that fresh food is wildly more expensive, and that I also deserve to treat myself if I please. Also, have you considered that some mothers...

In states with bottle deposits it's not uncommon for people to buy soda, immediately return it for the the deposit (sometimes breaking machines by putting in full cans of soda) and then using that money to buy cigarettes or other drugs.

I just checked prices at my local Fred Meyer out of curiosity. You can get a 12 pack of store brand for $4, which is then $5.20 with deposit. I think this works out to like 23 cents on the dollar.

I just realized as I was typing this that I forgot to look at bottled water. You can get a case of 24 for $3.69 or $6.09 after deposit, which would be more like 39 cents on the dollar.

Either way you're a parasite and shouldn't be allowed to buy things with a deposit.

As someone who is actually using this incredible assistance program

Opinion discarded

I can attest to the fact that fresh food is wildly more expensive

It's not if you're not too r-slurred to shop properly

and that I also deserve to treat myself

You don't.

Also, have you considered that some mothers are only able to provide their children birthday cakes because of this amazing program...

Baking a nice and simple cake is cheaper AND tastier than buying one and you can use all the leftover milk and flour and all the other ingredients for cooking later on

Just calculate what living on the bare minimum would cost and hand people money instead so they can buy what they need. I'd be cheaper instead of having a whole bunch of useless administrators who's only job it is to make sure that the right kind of corn-slop gets properly subsidized with the correct voucher.

More to the point, government support should only extend to the barest minimum required for existence, not luxury products and such. To put it another way, no, you don't "deserve" to "treat" yourself, a treat is something you earn.

One of my most hated examples of this is the bullshit stat that leftoids love to repost ad nauseam, that there is no state where minimum wage can rent a two-bedroom(!) apartment. I have no idea why they put "minimum" and "two-bedroom" into the same sentence, but they do, and I wish I had the right to kill them for it.
