I hear you. But no matter if it is private or government sponsored you will have people who will "get over". I guess I can't worry about those people out of fear that there will be that one person who needs it but can't get it because of the idiots who misuse it.

Greed is an awful thing. By putting the program into the private sector instead of at a government level, there will always be those at the private level who will take advantage. Look at all the skimming scandals in the charities and churches and the true amount that is used for charitable purposes and what is used for administration costs out of the donations.

I don't think there is an easy answer. No matter how the program is administered you will have people talking on their cell phone, walking into the nail salon after picking up their food stamp card. I really just hate that people judge people without knowing their story. KWIM?

There are so many programs that are misused....student grants and loans, I guess that the program that feeds people is one that I just think is the last one we should worry about. JMO
