Rid SNAP of its undeserving clients
Food stamps are meant to help those struggling to eat because of their low income or they're unable to work. However, people in grocery checkout lines sporting tattoos and piercings but using food stamps are wrong. Are small paychecks paying for body art instead of food? A sleeve of tattoos can cost $1,000.
Why shouldn't these people blow their paychecks for needless things? They can depend on SNAP to get their food. It looks like Delaware needs to revamp their SNAP program requiring follow-up investigations on recipients. People who need SNAP the most should not be pushed away because others are abusing the program.
Thinning out the abusers would allow more of those who are truly needy to rightfully use it. It might also help the true needy receive a larger portion of the SNAP allowance. Some of the present recipients might have needed food stamps in the past, but are now working or receive some kind of supplement. but, no longer need food stamps to survive. Yet, they will keep using SNAP because they can get away with it and are robbing the deserving poor from participating.
