masterrig 1 #6 April 8, 2015 Seems to me, anyone spending tax payer's dollars, needs to be accountable. I've seen people on food stamps give their change to their 'significant other' waiting on the other end of the check-out. He I turn goes into the store and buys a six-pack of his favorite brew. What's wrong with that picture. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unnecessary? Probably. But mean? Nope. Steak and seafood too? Why shouldn't someone use food stamps to buy seafood for their kids? Seafood has been shown, time and again, to be a healthy part of any diet. And steak is such a broad category that it's essentially banning people from buying any flat cuts of beef, from porterhouse to flank. And banning people from taking their kids swimming or going to a movie? Come on Bill, that is just plain mean-spirited.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

You lost me with that one. You do like to eat... don't you? Chuck We don't drug-test farmers who receive agriculture subsidies, or tell them they can't go to a movie. We don't require Pell Grant recipients to prove that they're pursuing a degree that will get them a real job one day. We don't require wealthy families who cash in on the home mortgage interest deduction to prove that they don't use their homes as brothels (because surely someone out there does this). We didn't tell bankers receiving bail-outs in the Bush recession that they couldn't buy a Mercedes or Maserati. No, these mean-spirited restrictions are aimed directly at the poorest Americans....
