    Where do people think excons are going to get money to pay fir theur groceries, trees? They'll be released from prison with no job and expect to feed themselves and their families. Hmm, I wonder what a quick means of making money to survive might be? The systemic incarceration of bkack men, who are the majority of drug offenders is criminal. It's time social justiice entered into the justice system.

    There are too many people abusing the system as it is. It's a poorly managed program and not enough investigating. Dfac should have a receipt reported for each and every item purchased through food stamp program and screen each one appropriately. There are many ways to secure these types of programs , without tax payers being abused. Will it be overwhelming, yes...but will the recipient think twice once they realize their numbers/names come back to welfare..I believe so.

    There is no excuse for anyone to go hungry in a country as prosperous as ours. That isn't punishment, it's a death sentence.
