In response to The Snark Challenge:
Something more useful was suggested (elsewhere) by Mandy (Liberty Chick) about teaching people on SNAP how to cook and shop. It’s not too difficult to feed yourself on around $30 a week, if you cook your food at home and know how to shop.
Obviously, the Democrat mentioned here are a little out of sorts, being limited to $30 for the week here in DC where they usually spend $30 on a low-end entree.
