Brattin admits that the language might need some tweaking. "My intention wasn't to get rid of canned tuna and fish sticks," he said. But he also insists that people are abusing the system by purchasing luxury foods, and believes that that must be stopped, even if it ends up requiring the inclusion of other less luxurious items."I have seen people purchasing filet mignons and crab legs with their EBT cards," he said. "When I can't afford it on my pay, I don't want people on the taxpayer's dime to afford those kinds of foods either."Currently, a household of one can qualify for up to $194 dollars a month, or fewer than $7 dollars day, as part of SNAP, according to the Department of Agriculture. For a household of two, it's roughly twice that. For a household of three, it's about three times the amount.
I completely support this. It's bullshit people on welfare or people using food stamps are able to get shit like this. They should only be able to get foods to get by on, not shit like this.

Being able to healthfully feed yourself and your family shouldn't include expensive food items like stake and seafood. Welfare and food stamps should only cover the basic items, not shit you would have at parties or family gatherings. Last time I checked junk food and drinks are not needed to get by on healthfully.

Wait, people think steak and red meat is some sort of luxury item?We're not talking filet mignon here.I'd love to see a list of what people think food stamps should be used for.

Food stamps shouldn't be allowed to get lavish meals like filet mignon, but food to get by like they're suppose to. If I actually work for a living and these losers don't, why do they get a filet mignon when I can't even afford it?

It's better, but not by much.Yes, raising the minimum wage would do more harm than good.
