“The Republicans’ 2012 budget plan proposes changing SNAP [“Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program”] from an entitlement to a block-grant program that would be tailored for each individual state, much like their proposal for Medicaid. States would no longer receive open-ended subsidies and the aid would be contingent on work or job training. It would also limit funding for the program.”

I don’t see anything wrong with this. Block grants are cheaper by virtue of eliminating duplicate bureaucracies and they don’t nannymind the states. I’m for it.
