I do not agree the $80 billion would not be spent.

I believe the money will be spent...the need for the food does not vary....however, the source of the funds does.

And of course recipients would rather use someone else's money than their own.

I would actually rather see the distribution of the food....not the money....now that would shake up the users substantially. But would root out the inconsistency of application VS intent.
