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!
I know you do, wasn't taking a shot at you or anything. This stuff just really pisses me off.
It should definitely be set up like the WIC where they are only allowed certain things and it's not the more expensive items but it's the cheap stuff.
