A discussion On Food stamps:

[Aramike]

Sounds like even more bureaucracy. Stamps seem to be simplier to me.

Normally I'd agree, except I'm sure we can find some bureaucrats in useless roles to take on the task.

The way I see it, if you're on welfare you should have plenty of time to properly manage your finances. It's the discipline piece that many recipients have a problem with, and that's partly why they're struggling in the first place.
