There's a well-known underground trade in these vouchers. Clients are paid pennies on the dollar for their benefits. The program cards will not buy liquor, cigarettes, etc. What you describe is abuse, but the violator, having surrendered his/her voucher will have to find cash for food. Therefor, such abuse is vanishing small.
That's pie in the sky wishful thinking. In the Springs, after people have used up both food stamps and cash from their EBT, they just go to the soup kitchen.
People will always be fed, after spending food stamps on food, (and you can't believe what kind of food they buy), cigarettes, alcohol, weed and other drugs. The Libs won't let them go hungry. I can see you don't get around much.
And besides that, you are simple minded.
