@ Chrono, I know many, many foodstamp recipients who will happily take you to the store with them and let you shop for your groceries and them walk up to the cashier and pay for it all with their "vision card"(thats what they get here in Kansas, its similiar to a debit card but the balance can only be used on grocery items).
The going rate is that you pay them 50 cents for every dollar you spend. Thats right, you can get your groceries for half price. If it is a meth head(we have a huge problem with them in Kansas) you can sometimes get your food for 25 cents for every dollar.
What I am saying is no matter what method is used to try and make it legit they will get around it. Someone will always figure out a way "screw the system". Currency like the old fashioned food stamps just will not work.Have I taken advantage of this? Yes I have. If they don't plan on feeding their families atleast I can use it to feed mine.
I also believe in rehabilitation but isn't that a double edged sword? Does a person who fails a drug test because he smoked a joint 3 weeks ago deserve the same treatment as a meth/heroin addict who has mainlined for the past 6 years?
