    Uh no. EBT saved my life in college. It’s a great program, there if you need it and income regulated. Some nuts may misuse it, but someone somewhere is getting that food.

      That’s kind of the credo of both parties:

      Republicans: Nobody can have it because 1 person might use it fraudulently.
      Democrats: Everybody can have it, we don’t care how many people use it fraudulently so long as 1 person is being saved by it.

        This principle is what America was founded upon.

        Better to allow 1 guilty person go free than imprison 1 innocent person.

        Anyone who disagrees, assumes they’ll never been the 1 innocent person.

        This basic principle is the basis for the political divide in America.
