I'd just like to see it reformed, you shouldn't be able to live better than anyone who is paying for your welfare or not on welfare. That means that if the 25 year old who makes $20k can't afford soft drinks, chips, and steak, then the people on welfare shouldn't get them either. It needs to be a highly restricted program if it exists at all. I also think that people should have to do community service to get it (why contract with a company to paint benches if you could use the people already being paid to do the work?), but that is a whole other thing.

It needs to go back to lines, government cheese, and surplus crops. And yes, for the poorest of the poor.

i'd be fine with it being open to anyone (get rid of the bureaucracy and social workers required to navigate it), and have it just be things like you are saying, surplus ag, grains, dried beans, government peanut butter, etc. It would sustain anyone just fine, and would be balanced as well. There are just so many positives about this i don't know where to start.

City 17 food dispensers. Welfare should be an undesirable choice.

We need to bring back "govt. cheese" so to speak. Stop giving these people ebt cards and let them pick up pre-approved food from food banks. I shouldn't be paying taxes so someone who is too fat to work can buy twinkies w/ my tax dollars. That doesn't solve shit. Get them on a low/no carb diet and they'll be thin soon enough. Enough w/ this free sugar shit. It's time we made "bread and circuses" into "bologna and go fuck yourself."
