re: How many people actually want EBT curtailed?

30 minutes ago I bought online some fancy premium boutique hotsauce at $8 per 5oz bottle. It was also advertised as "EBT Eligible".
I'm sorry, if you are so destitute you can't buy your own food, or your children are starving, you don't get the $8/5oz of hot sauce. You get the $3/5oz hot sauce.
I'm not for ending it completely, but it needs to be completely revamped. And not just for the financial savings which another poster already said is a drop in the bucket, but to change the dying culture of our country, the unraveling of our very fabric caused by dependency. And regarding drops in the bucket, that's a common tactic used by liberals to justify every single fricked up thing our government spends money on.

One in five children in America do not have access to a sufficient balanced diet in America. THAT IS TERRIBLE.
Now the rest of the story. You know where that stat comes from, the Min of
Agriculture, who distributes food stamps. You know where they got it......they surveyed people on food stamps.
What person in their right mind getting food stamps is going to say "no gee wiz I have too much".
I saw the survey. "Does your child miss a meal during the day?".
FFSake I missed lunch today, I guess Im "food insecure".
I blame the 90% on the people working for the government who are liberals who administer this program at the ground level. They know it, along with several of the other social programs, are being abused and with a wink and a nod rubber stamp them.

I don’t mind it being there per se, but it should be so insanely unattractive so that free loaders don’t see it as a better option.
This. It’s insane how many people have EBT cards when you pay attention to it.
Now there’s a loophole in the form of the temporary assistance program where they can apparently rock up to a Walmart convenience store, buy the dollar water, and get cash back to go buy whatever they want to buy with cash.
Witnessed that the other day and was like WTF is this.

I like the way you think, so we tackle one each month and we will have a balanced budget within two years.
So when your wife blows over two weeks of your pay on a porn site, its okay around your household?

You keep making my point. Its all of it. You have to tackle all the waste. Its five percent of the problem. You know the last time a worker in America saw a 5 percent real wage growth, raise less cost of inflation?

One billionaire paying their fair share of taxes annually could fund EBT for a million recipients.

stop subsidizing poor life decisions. NO EBT, time limit on welfare, end sect 8 and all hud housing.

It's been soda related fraud for decades. Soda used to be fungible currency you could buy with EBT and trade for drugs, but it's morphed into:

EBT soda fraud refers to the illegal practice of using EBT cards to purchase beverages with returnable deposits, then discarding the contents to redeem the containers for cash, which can be used to buy non-eligible items. This type of fraud has been reported in various states

Go back to commodities. Big assed brick of cheese and butter, rice, flour, some veggies. Eggs. Maybe some ground meat and chicken legs. Directly helps the farmers/ranchers with the sale of their excess and it makes baby mammas actually cook food instead of trading their EBT cards for meth and crack.

Yes. 1,000 times more than every person who’s ever posted on this site makes in their entire lifetime combined.
Except EBT is $100,000,000,000.00 per year.

I want it razed to the ground, and go back to food stamp booklets. 90-day maximum benefit accrual without special approval for extension, and extremely limited purchase power (far more than it is right now).
Most people can get their act together in 90 days. If not, and they can prove that they're truly trying their hardest to do so, then extend 30 days at a time for a maximum of 12 consecutive months. Hard cutoff after that, unless a legitimate medical condition completely prevents full-time employment potential.

It's not hypocritical to not want freeloaders while not bitching about the deficit. Idiot.
