Posted by Sir Four at 10:24pm Oct 8 '10If you take the view that the food stamp program is basically a stipend, given to the recipient to spend on whatever they like, then yeah. ("You're poor, so here's a pre-paid card; go spend it how you like.") But I view food stamps as a program that ensures that if you cannot afford to nourish yourself, it's going to provide you with the essentials to do so.
