No, it isn't. The people abusing it can eat less lobster. The poor aren't ever cut.

The human costs of cutting food stamps at this time are huge.

If the food stamp program was scaled back to just the needy, the price of groceries would probably drop 20% or so in the next couple of years.

Every thing the governments gets involved with contorts the market to the disadvantage of those paying their own freight.

Kenneth, The human costs of cutting food stamps at this time are huge.


What about potential cuts to the school breakfast and lunch programs to those youth receiving full or reduced breakfast or lunches? Forgot there are some who would throw these types under the bus!!!
