I am a cashier at a busy grocery store on the University of Kentucky's campus. I see abuse of food stamps every day. I checked out a couple on Saturday that used food stamps to buy fucking ribs. They were wearing new clothes. Most of the people who use food stamps that I check out usually buy cigarettes too.
One public assistance program I can agree on that Kentucky has (I'm not sure if any of the other states have a similar program) is the WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) program. Citizens are given a voucher for items such as a pound of cheese or a gallon of milk. They have to get a certain kind of everything, and that's what I think public assistance needs to be heading for if they can't just get rid of it. I'm not against helping people out, but I think that help needs to come through private organizations.
