Why would you think the fraud is mythical? Do you live in area where a lot of people use it? Do you have lots of friends that use it. Do you use it? Do you work in a store that processes a lot of it?

Not sure what the fifty redundant systems part of this is, but I assume you are talking about the Trump plan to replace some or all of SNAP benefits with meal kits.
I don't think it needs to be state run (I actually don't think it is needed at all but that is another matter) so I do not see why it would need to be more than one organization. If we are going to have SNAP, it should be just meal kits that are healthy and cost efficient. EVERYONE has a story about people abusing food stamps, at least this way if they abuse the system it is a much lower costed system. The MSM is acting like it is Trump telling the people what to eat, but there is no reason why they can't have a system where they request certain meal kits each month or even just go and pick out the meal kits they want.
Anytime people advocate for continuing to just throw money at a problem rather than make it more cost effective, you should be suspicious.

Fat unemployed people will be forced to choose between healthy food, or getting a job. Most of them will probably kill themselves. I can't even count how many birds will get struck by this single stone.

You know that "Food Stamp" programs are administered and operated by each state, right?

Some folks here are so pumped up on hate they forget that they need to think and use logic.
