Idea to send:	Topic Food Stamps Content I have heard that foodstamps have now been replaced by a card that operates much as a credit or debit card. I have also heard that one can simply withdraw money from an ATM with this card. This is a big problem, and as a taxpayer, I cannot condone this. The card idea is not a bad one, but such a card should NOT function at ANY atm to withdraw cash. The card should ONLY operate at approved retailers, and an ORIGINAL reciept for ALL transactions should be required from all users of the card. Approved transactions should ONLY include necessary survival and food items: gasoline, food, clothing, baby necessities. Items that should NOT be approved would be: cigarettes, alcohol, firearms, videogames. Approved retailers should be LOW END retailers ONLY, such as resale stores, Walls, Walmart, K-Mart, the Good Will, etc. HIGH END retailers should NEVER be approved. At the end of the month, when the applicant's reciepts are audited, ever non-approved transaction or missing reciept should be DEDUCTED from the applicant's next month's payment. For example, if $100 were spent on unapproved transactions, the next month, the applicant will get $100 less for that month. If no unapproved transactions are made for that month, the next month will resume the standard amount. I'm tired of seeing people I know are supported on welfare, driving nicer cars than I do, smoking, drinking, eating out every night, and sitting at home playing xbox 360 all day. As a taxpayer, I demand something be done. I'm helping these people to SURVIVE and eventually regain their financial independance, not take a vacation.
