To continue my food stamp rant: People abuse the system, poor enforcement and human nature make that inevitable. This is not a reason to abolish the benefit, it is a reason to find the cheats and throw them in jail.
At the same time, feeding poor kids is not fuzzy headed Kumbaya noblese-oblige or white guilt or a bribe to buy votes, it is a solid dollars and cents investment in the future. RWNJs reject this because they know in their heart of hearts that only children from “good” prosperous Christian families have a real chance of being real producers in the future. This defies a raft of examples to the contrary, myself included, but facts and unbiased observation are not their strong suit.
