Honestly tired of the welfare life choice that so many people walk.

Lot of women out there have never worked. They just frick and have kids. Then get on food stamps, free healthcare, and section 8. What money they do get from any of their many baby daddies or side hustles, it's all under the table and not reported. It's why you'll see women out there on food stamps, section 8 and free healthcare, but somehow can afford $800+/car leases and the newest iphones.

I think EBT should be limited to the purchase of Whole Foods only. If it comes in a package, the max ingredients should be 3.

That includes chicken.

If you want cookies, bake them.

Feed them.... ok, but not for free and not without requirements.

-They should be drug tested.

-They should have to attend job training.

-Women shouldn't be allowed to reproduce (it's unreasonable to allow someone that can't provide for themselves to burden tax payers with additional mouths to feed).

The federal or state governments should create legitimate job training programs.
If they refuse job training, then they should work for free in whatever capacity is needed in their vicinity.

Each year about $20B is spent on junk food using SNAP benefits. Soda companies made $800B last year. I don’t think they are beholden to welfare as a business model.

Keeping junk food out of SNAP is about the downstream effects of poor nutrition such as chronic diseases

I want EBT to be restrictive as hell.

WIC is restrictive as frick, I don't know why EBT can't be the same way.

How about we cut EBT in half tomorrow by only providing EBT to American citizens.

A little over 50% of EBT goes to non-citizens.

We can probably make a huge dent in Medicaid and Medicare by doing the same.

People that actually pay taxes want the free ride stopped.

EBT should have its on gas stations and grocery stores with limited selection
