@Oh_Well_ian No he's not, I used CHIP program myself years ago. Admin has been talking about what to do about it. I have a friend who's bitching about the Trump plan to distribute boxes of food instead of cards, the point is to make them not want to stay on food stamps and also not to use the card for illicit purposes ... a form of tough love ... we do want blacks to work right? Rise up from permanent underclass? Can they do it? Are they willing? This is the classic hand up instead of hand out, the "teach a man to fish" thing. This person that is griping about the boxes is saying blacks won't be able to buy fresh produce but they don't anyway.
