This is the part of the system most people don’t see. A lot of times once you’re in it, it’s very difficult if not sometimes impossible to get out of it. Changes need to be made. I’ve lived this and I’ve seen friends and family live this. Something needs to be done so you don’t get trapped once you fall in this hole.

You know what happens when a person is on food stamps and can’t buy something with food stamps? They Sell the food stamps to buy what they can’t with those food stamps. It already happens all the time, why would something like this make it better? This is the most idiotic thing I’ve ever heard. It’s not like EBT recipients are living the high life. But if Steak or seafood is on sale why shouldn’t they be allowed to buy it? In any case we would all be better served by implementing a  Basic Income then we wouldn’t need welfare or food stamps.
