Perhaps the government should put a warning about the addictive nature when issuing social welfare programs to those that couldn't make any more by working based on their skills.
Hell ... It would do wonders for my blood pressure if the government restricted junk food from EBT cards. Sitting in line behind a fat person who uses food stamps and whatnot ... I will admit it really pisses me of when all they have in their basket is junk food and Koolaid and they are fat as hell.
.
As long as those voting for a living are allowed to use EBT to buy such crap, we'll continue to pay for the healthcare they think they have a right to have. Those of us that work for a living are expected to maintain those that vote for one and plenty of bleeding hearts allow it to happen.
The point that EBT should not be usable for junk/processed artificial food is absolutely valid and worthy.
But that will never happen. Because it would require the same government that tells its citizenry that this crap is perfectly OK ..... to turn around and say 'your EBT card won't buy this because it's crap'. And that would lay the collusion bare for all to see. It would become too obvious even to the unwashed who controls the government, and neither one of them want that.
