This thread is not about whether to give poor people food skamps. It's about whether they should be able to use those food skamps as a down payment on a Ferrari, or to purchase a television, or liquor, or candy bars, or cigarettes.

In california, you can buy big macs with food skamps. And if you think this is because food skamp recipients wanted it this way, bless your heart. MCDONALDS wanted it this way. Their lobbying firms are better connected than Tyron, Rastus and Shaquita, the group representing food skamp recipients.
