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.

Let me rephrase it...it's EXTRA money put into the food production economy through government debt.
If the poor didn't get "free food", I doubt so many would be obese. So, IMO, there is definitely "extra" food in the system.
Supposedly they don't HAVE the money to pay for food. If they do, why are we paying them?
Good luck with that...make the poor do something? Ha...that's a good one!
