I wonder if they are going to outlaw the Republican National Committee spending donor money on strip clubs in Tampa?
Naw, why change that

Actually, that's a good thing for being far more easily able to control where the funds can be spent across the system. You can't purchase non-food items, alcohol, meds, etc. with your food stamp card, it just won't accept certain items with the swipes. It decreases abuse, not increases it. Makes abuse more difficult.
If those cards didn't exist, they couldn't be discussing this bill, as there wouldn't be any way to monitor it or control it. That's why you have the cottage industry of people in parking lots offering to purchase you food items for cash the first of the month.
"Welfare queens" Ruinin' it since Reagan invented them out of thin air, and in spite of the massive welfare program reforms of the 1990's <g>
