I agree, mostly.
I was with you right until you mentioned food stamps. If you had not heard, the food stamp program has been rolled into the EBT debit card program years ago.
In 2011 almost $1 billion in EBT funds were used in casinos across the nation. Almost half a billion in the California EBT program alone.
Sorry if this sounds politically incorrect, but if they can afford to use their EBT cards to take out cash in a casino ATM, they can afford to eat better.
