They should axe the use of these cards at gas stations and on "cold drinks", candy bars, $.99 bags of chips, boiled crawfish, crab legs and a number of other "goods" that those who work only can afford once in a great while. They should set it up more like the WIC program, that is widely abused too! At least that way, they only get to get certain, neccessity items! They should also do like the unemployment division, where they have to go out and seek employment. Do most of these folks actually look for a job in a serious manner?...No but, at least it gets em off the dang couch!

Agreed! Assistance should be given for 3 months, pending a drug test, and if at the end of the 3 months you dont have a job....TOUGH!
If we could put the welfare recipients to work, we could stop hiring so many illegal immigrants.
