the Paycheck (Trump)president wants to undo another part of the legacy of the Food Stamp President (Obama).
Trump proposes giving actual food to people in place of EBT cards.
Of course this is an unlikely sell to get past congress but it makes sense when you think about it. It will likely lower corruption rates among the program users to a dull roar.
They can't cheat on a program like this to buy liquor and cigarettes. Drug dealers won't take macaroni and cheese for drugs.
They can't buy several large boxes of shrimp and take them down the street to the next grocer and sell them wholesale.
On the other hand, it will be a miracle if Trump can sell this to congress because it would mean a blow to corporate welfare. Stores like Walmart take in a fortune on EBT card s and other government programs.
Still, they ought to do this because the honest Joe Taxpayer deserves to not have to see someone on assistance load up on things he can't afford only to take everything home in a car that's nicer than his.
